Day 8.

Took a long beautiful drive up the coast of Southern Oregon. This was well worth the extra hour en route to Roseburg. The cliffs were impressive, the beach sprinkled with large rocks and hardly a soul, even on a Saturday. The fog burned off and the sun came out and sparkled on the water. Gold beach seemed like  someplace we need to pay another visit. So picturesque. We met the kids' Grandpa Maurie (my step Dad) and Nannie Debbie at  Logger's for lunch, and had yummy pizza and local beer. Roseburg is bigger than I thought offering many services but still had a small town feel. After lunch we went to see the land they purchased in which they are building their dream home. Such a gorgeous spot, on rolling hills over looking the Callahan range. Mature trees, some grapes, raspberries, and a view to die for. The land was marked where the house would be and building starts next week. Such an exciting journey for them and we can't wait to come see the finished product! Dinner of Ahi poke and Tri tip with grilled veggies hit the spot. We had a great visit and are so thankful to have these two in our lives. We took a walk on their road and saw goats, ducks, pigs, chickens, deer, dogs and cats. After walking the dogs with Dad and enjoying Debbie's breakfast this morning, we bid our farewell. And as we drove away, Lily said, "I already miss them!" We love you!!
