More Reunion Thoughts

June 18, 2015 by Lohring in Lohring

I am thinking that I will cook a turkey dinner on Wednesday.  I'll be mostly hanging around waiting for everyone to arrive, so watching the turkey cook will give me something to do.  I'll also cook the standard mashed potatoes and vegetables.  Yayoe volunteered to bring tofu as well.  I'll be sure there are eggs and pancake mix for breakfast on Thursday.  After that you are on your own for organizing shopping and meals.

I'm excited to see everyone.

Some initial organizing details:

I think we should all plan to meet at the Bella Beach house on
Wednesday.  We can have dinner there and sort out who will be staying
where.  The addresses are:

Bella Beach house - Spy Hopper (house name)
Bella Beach Drive, the first left off Ocean Drive
Drive straight - the house is on the corner where the road turns toward the beach

To get there from the north on 101:

• Continue through Lincoln City and, two miles past Salishan
  Lodge the one lane road turns into two.
• 
  Keep your eyes open for Oceanview on the right hand.
• 
  Turn right onto Oceanview and left on Bella Beach Dr.

• App 2 miles north of Depoe Bay, look for the Thriftway grocery
  store on the right.
• 
  One (1) mile past the Thriftway grocery store is a turn-around
  to go back south.
• 
  Use the turn-around and make your first right onto Oceanview
  and left on Bella Beach Dr.
  

Reunion

June 03, 2015 by Lohring in Lohring

The vacation rental is ready.  Start thinking about who is staying in each location.  The last thought I heard was the old people could stay in our Siletz Keys house and the children could stay in the Bella Beach house.  The parents of the children need to decide if they want to chaperone children or vacation from them.  Maybe the grandparents would be willing to take over chaperoning.  Main meals (dinner) probably should be in the Bella Beach house.  A sandwich buffet could be setup in both houses for in between.  We still need to decide on side trips.  I'll research suggestions.  Driving directions are:

If you are visiting Bella Beach from out of state, Portland's PDX airport is the best to fly into when visiting us.

We recommend the following path to the beach!

• 
  From PDX, follow hwy 205 to I-5 (app 25 miles) and head South towards Salem (app 30 miles).
• 
  Take the Salem Parkway exit just past the baseball field and follow it into Salem
• 
  Turn right onto the Marion St bridge towards West Salem and Ocean Beaches, staying in the left lane.
• 
  It is app 60 miles to Lincoln City
• 
  Continue through Lincoln City and, two miles past Salishan Lodge the one lane road turns into two.
• 
  Keep your eyes open for Oceanview on the right hand.
• 
  Turn right onto Oceanview and left on Bella Beach Dr.
• 
  The office is on the left hand side.

Arriving from the South:

• 
  Follow Highway 101 through Newport and through Depoe Bay.
• 
  App 2 miles north of Depoe Bay, look for the Thriftway grocery store on the right.
• 
  One (1) mile past the Thriftway grocery store is a turn-around to go back south.
• 
  Use the turn-around and make your first right onto Oceanview and left on Bella Beach Dr.
• 
  The office is on the left hand side.
