Visiting Cape Perpetua

Yesterday, I decided we need a playful, vacation day at the beach. I poured over the map, scoured the google and decided on Cape Perpetua which is an hour and a half away.
This morning, the boy and I dressed warmly, grabbed a few snacks and headed out. It was our 1st time on route 34. Usually, I take 20 to the Pacific but I wanted to see some new scenery and checkout which 2 lane mountain highway was more harrowing. Actually, 34 proved to have the more white knuckle driving and sheer drop offs. I'm glad I checked it out though. Maybe I've just driven 20 so frequently that it's just plain easier.
We had a beautiful, pleasant drive both ways.
At Cape Perpetua, we took a mile or more walk to see Devil's Churn (at mid-tide, so the narrow strip wasn't exactly churning), tide pools and hangout on the beach so little guy could build with sand. The weather truly was perfect around 65-70.
On the return trip, we stopped at Yachats where I got a chance for a quiet rocky beach walk as little guy opted to stay in the car.
Here are a few pics from our day trip!!!
