Tuesday was spent exploring. We started by driving to Shore Acres Gardens. These beautiful gardens are on the top of rocky cliffs by the ocean. They have so many beautiful flowers and plants. The kids loved the roses! They had to smell every single kind of rose that they had.

 |
| I can't remember the name of these flowers. It was something like 'starfire'. |
 |
| I thought these swirling leaves were magnificent! |

After the gardens, we went to Coos Bay. Nate wanted to take us to the Myrtlewood Factory. It was neat to see how they turn a giant tree into such beautiful things!
Then we headed down to Bandon, another coastal town. We went to their "Old Town" and checked out the shops. I remember going there with Nate the summer we were married. It was fun to look in all the shops. I got some divine smelling bath salts and we sampled the sweets at the candy factory. My favorite was the licorice flavored dark chocolate. I would never have thought of putting those two together, but they were perfect! We bought some fudge, an absolute must! Nate picked out 6 different flavors. We had cookies and cream, peanut butter, rocky road, white chocolate with walnuts, mint chocolate, and walnut pinoche. My favorite was the white chocolate. Nate and the kids loved the peanut butter. We let the kids pick out some seashells for souvenirs. Jonah and Lilly chose sea stars and Jayne chose a tiger conch.
By the time we got back to camp, we were all ready for bed. We had some dinner, relaxed by the fire, and turned in early.

I love those gardens, too! We went just before the flowers really started blooming so we missed some of it.
