Oregon advice?

[urbpan]

My brother, father, and I are going to spend next week (from Saturday on) in Oregon. We have no plan, except to rent a car and explore. My brother wants to see Astoria and some natural wonders thereabouts, I'd like to see the Oregon Zoo, and the city of Eugene. (I'd also like to see the northern Coast of California, but that may be beyond the scope of our trip.) We're theoretically staying near the coast.

Do you have any recommendations for things along the coast of Oregon?

the Tillamook cheese factory?

I have fond memories of Cape Lookout park.

Alexis and I enjoyed our visit to the Tillamook cheese factory in 2008, and in a strange turn of events I lost my souvenir from there (a hooded sweatshirt) on my last vacation with Andy and my dad (left it in a hotel or inn). But I'm not sure it warrants a return visit.

Cape Lookout looks good! My dad likes lighthouses, so we should stop by there.

Thanks for the recommendations!
