We were starving by the time we reached Surftides in Lincoln City, our lodging for the night. Luckily, we didn't have to go far for dinner. Surftides has a cozy restaurant called MIST that serves breakfast, lunch and dinner. I recommend the crabcakes as an appetizer. Delish! The Mister had surf and turf, The Kid had mac and cheese, and I had the smoked salmon pasta. Everything was yummy and the servers were extremely quick (see the menu). We watched them as they literally ran from table to table to assist their customers. Two thumbs up for great service.
We were beat and hit the hay. My internal clock insisted I wake up at 5 am and I dragged myself out of bed and took the opportunity to freeze my toes off on the balcony overlooking this view of the ocean and sounds of the surf. Pretty cool huh?
6 am. Where is the daylight? The sun is up at 5:30 am in Las Vegas. Lincoln City apparently sleeps in. However, the seagulls are awake.
Our stay in Lincoln City was very brief since we had only a few days to explore. But before we left, we had to take a stroll on the beach. It actually means the "I" took a stroll on the beach. The boys had no interest whatsoever in getting sands in their shoes or braving the cold winds on the beach.
To the beach!
Here is a view of the Surftides from the beach. Cold, cold, cold beach.
I stood and watched the foam fly away for awhile but realized the boys were waiting for me to stop playing tourist.
Goodbye Lincoln City. It was fun!
