Seaside Honeymoon

Seaside Honeymoon

© 2002 by Bud Lemire

We had a Seaside Honeymoon, down on the Oregon coast

Right on the Pacific Ocean, with the woman I love the most

Woke up to the seagulls on the roof, and gave them bread

It wasn't time to get up yet, so we went back to bed

We went to Tillamook, to see the cheese factory

We saw them making cheese, for you and for me

We got to see the Octopus Tree, before we came back

The winds blew the waves strongly, as a matter of fact

We ate brunch at the Shilo, they had some good meals

Then we were at the Aquarium, feeding water splashing seals

We had our photo taken, dressed as people of long ago

And visited many shops, to see what they had to show

We left Seaside, and took in sightseeing on our way back

Shopping in several books stores, with many books on the rack

Saw two more lighthouses, we climbed high to get up there

And visited the Lewis & Clark museum, they were quite a pair

With the ocean's winds, and the waves crashing upon the shore

There were so many sights we had to take in, who could ask for more

With the woman I love, to each other we're in tune

We enjoyed every moment, on our Seaside Honeymoon

I remember I had a toothache on this honeymoon. So I ate pancakes

at the Shilo in Seaside. Also, on the way back, a lighthouse we had

stopped at and we took pictures at, I recently found it, is called Cape

Disappointment. English Captain John Meares missed the passage over

the river bar and named the nearby headland Cape Disappointment for

his failure in finding the river. American Captain Robert Gray successfully

crossed the river bar and named the river "Columbia" after his ship, the

Columbia Rediviva.
