Newport Oregon

One thing on our to do list was get a $2.00 breakfast at the Chinook Winds Casino Buffet.  All you need to do is be 55 or older and get a Boomer card to get the special buffet from 8 - 11AM on Tuesdays.  Other times when we were in the area there has been a very long line to get in but this time we waited and got in.  We have gotten a deal at the Casino Hotel restaurant with a $2.95 eggs, toast, bacon, hasbrows and coffee for a Boomer deal, and that was good but the buffet is even better.  Omlets and all the good stuff you can eat is one great deal.

So after the buffet we packed up and drove to Newport.  At the Elks we found 1/2 the spaces empty (thats 4 of the 8 spaces empty).  So we hooked up to water, elect and cable TV.  After 3 nights without TV it will be nice to see whats going on in the world.  We did watch some movies on DVD last night but we like the news.

The big weather news is that the sun is shining and we can see the ocean and bridge from our windows at the Lodge.

This is the view from out front door.  The Elks Lodge is on the left and the Hwy 101 bridge and blue
water is visiable beyond it.

The weather this evening was so good we went for a drive and just sat and watched the boats going in and out of the bay.
