Day 1 TheBeanTeam celebrates 15 Years of Bean Teaming

On June tenth we celebrated our 15th wedding anniversary with a trip to the coast. We stayed in Port Orford where we hiked, geocached, walked the beach, visited an off beat roadside attraction and rested.

It was a glorious weekend. We left the kids with friends and took the dog heading out on Thursday after work for a vacation rental house overlooking the Oregon Coastline from a distance.

We stopped for a few brief walks on the trip over to the coast. First we stopped in at Archie Knowles Campground to allow the dog a short walk. Of course we had fired up the GPS to see it there was a geocache before we pulled in. Mrs. Bean made quick work of finding the cache and as soon as we were all refreshed and rested we headed on over to Florence where we turned south.

Mrs. Bean thought she heard something odd with the van so we pulled off to see what the sound was. I couldn't hear it but it happened that we were at the Oregon Dunes Overlook where we enjoyed our first view of the ocean during our trip along a pleasant little boardwalk. We would have liked to take off hiking but  needed to be several hours south before it got to late.

We pulled into Coos Bay and had romantic bite to eat in the parking lot of Fred Meyers. We splurged and got Arby's....hey it was an anniversary trip. Nothing but the best for TheBeanTeam. The rest of the trip was quick and uneventful and we found our home away from home without trouble where we spent the evening getting settled and unwinding.
