We look forward to this trip every year—it's one of our favorites, and we hope you'll join us! January is the perfect time to visit the beach.
It's peaceful, there are no crowds, the weather can be surprisingly nice, and if there's been a recent storm, you might even spot some fun “treasures”
washed up on shore. Plus, it's such a great way to shake off that winter cabin fever! Even better—thanks to popular demand, we were able to add an
extra night! This will give you a little time to enjoy the hotel and beach. That means this is now a four-day getaway full of relaxation, ocean views,
and good company. We'll be staying at a lovely hotel where every room has an ocean view, and the location couldn't be better. There are also a few
special stops planned along the way. One favorite from last year was the local glassblowing shop—some of us even made our own glass pieces
(there's a fee for that, but it's a blast!). Let me know if you're interested, and we'll try to set it up again this year. We'd love to have you with us!
Day 1
Our comfortable motor coach will pick you up, and we'll be on our way to the Salem area,
where we'll stop for lunch (on your own) at a local restaurant. After that, we'll continue to
our beautiful hotel—The Inn at Spanish Head—where every room has a view of the ocean!
Once we're settled in, the evening is yours to enjoy. There's a lovely restaurant right
in the hotel and we recommend making a dinner reservation in advance, as it can be popular—especially with those ocean views!
Day 2
This morning is all about relaxing and enjoying your time at the beach or just soaking in the beautiful surroundings at the hotel.
If you signed up for glass blowing, today's the day for that hands-on experience! For those who'd rather do a little shopping
(or just browsing), we'll also offer an optional trip to the outlet stores nearby. Tonight, we'll run an optional dinner shuttle
to Mo's, the iconic seafood restaurant loved by locals and visitors alike. If you'd like to join us, just let us know—we'd love to have you along!
Day 3
Today we'll take a trip to Newport, where you'll have the chance to visit their fabulous aquarium. If the tides and weather cooperate,
we'll also stop by Depoe Bay to see the famous blowholes in action—they can be truly spectacular. Dinner is on your own tonight,
but for those interested, we'll offer an optional shuttle to Chinook Winds Casino, where you can grab a bite to eat and maybe try your luck at a few games!
Day 4
Time to head home—but not without a few more fun stops along the way! Please bring your bags to the motor coach in the morning as we
begin our journey back. On the way, we'll stop at the beloved Tillamook Creamery, where you can enjoy some delicious ice cream, sample their
famous cheeses, and browse a variety of goodies in the gift shop. Just a few minutes up the road, we'll make another quick stop at the Country
Smoker—a great place to grab sausage, pepperoni, jerky, and more tasty treats to take home. We'll also make a stop for lunch (on your own) before continuing on the road.
