Are we home yet?

We left Gold Beach this morning and headed up the Oregon Coast. Near Bandon we stopped at a wildlife petting zoo. Shianne was really looking forward to this. Here we are holding an 8 week lion cub. It was very sweet.
There were many animals roaming free. We were able to feed them. Nora Beth thought the animals swarming her for food was a bit overwhelming. We finally got her calmed down enough to get close to a pygmy goat.
We were able to hold some special animals. We held an albino skunk (descented) and this very cute opossum. It was blind and cross eyed, but had a face to melt your heart.

Afterwards we headed north to Lincoln City. We stopped at the outlet mall for some school shopping. I was so excited to find some clothes for Shianne. She has outgrown the childrens section, but is not yet ready for the styles in the juniors. This makes shopping difficult for her this year.
On the way home we heard the chiming of "are we home yet!"

  1. Sounds like you had a fun trip! We used to make the same trip nearly every year as a family when I was a young girl.
