Taking On The Pacific Coast Highway - Day 6

Stop 15 - Crab Fishing in Yaquina Bay: We started the day off with our crab fishing gear at Yaquina Bay. We were hoping for an experience similar to the ones we had in Ireland where we would have several bites within a few minutes of having the line in the water. Unfortunately, the crabs did not get the memo and we didn't even see one crab. Despite our lack of success, the kids had fun trying.

Stop 16 - Devil's Punchbowl: Our next stop was a quick one at Devil's Punchbowl in Oregon. If we had more time it would've been fun to hike down and explore the inside of the bowl but with a busy day ahead we figured a quick look was better than nothing.

Stop 17 - Lincoln City Kite Festival: Next we headed to Lincoln City for their annual summer kite festival. The city was crazy busy so we parked in an outlet shopping center and took a shuttle bus over to the event. Upon arriving at the festival we sat and watched some of the professional kite flying performances choreographed to music. After watching for a while we walked over to the waterfront and busted out our overpriced Minion kite we had purchased in Chinatown. Although neither of us have great kite flying skills we actually got the kite UP! We were especially grateful for the extreme wind that made it much easier to get the kite up in the air.
