<\/a>\nI ordered very plain food and ate half of it. I ate the English muffin, the eggs and one sausage and left the rest. I wanted to make sure my stomach could handle it. Michael got a breakfast burrito that he said was delicious.<\/p>\n
<\/a>
\nAfter breakfast we checked out and then went for another walk on the beach. The weather was much better. It was hot, sunny and not windy at all!<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a>
\nWe walked south down the beach. There were rumors of a kite festival down there and I wanted to see if it was happening yet. It was still pretty early in the morning.<\/p>\n<\/a>
\nWe walked a long ways down the beach. It was such a nice day and I was happy that I was feeling better.<\/p>\n<\/a>
\nI love the beach! It is so relaxing to me. Walking on the beach is a workout too. I was a little bummed that I was too sick the night before to check out the hotel pool but that wouldn’t have been a good idea with my stomach issues<\/em>.<\/p>\n<\/a>
\nWe made it to the kite festival and watched for a few minutes. The kites were exceptional. It wasn’t really windy, though, so I wondered if the Kite Festival would be a bust.<\/p>\n<\/a>
\nOur legs were getting a major workout as we walked the beach. It was nice! We made our way back to the hotel.<\/p>\n<\/a>
\nIn the car I had another clue.<\/p>\n<\/a>
\nMichael navigated and I drove down 101 through Lincoln City. The destination ended up being Devil’s Lake. Michael had planned for us to go for a bike ride around the lake. He decided he didn’t want to do that. His legs were pretty beat up from walking several miles on the beach. I was alright with not biking. I wasn’t 100% after my stomach issues. I suggested that we drive back toward Portland and stop at Hagg Lake<\/a> on the way. There were supposed to be biking trails there. He thought that was a great idea and he hoped his legs would be recovered by then. I got the final clue:<\/p>\n<\/a>
\nAWWWW. Michael is so romantic! We drove to McMinnville and stopped for lunch first. We ate lunch at the Golden Valley Restaurant and Brewery<\/a>. We’ve eaten there before and enjoyed it. Michael got the skirt steak salad:<\/p>\n
