Seaside, Oregon

We took a 5 day road trip with our friends to Seaside, Oregon. It was our first time to the Oregon Coast. After a long 10 hour car ride, we were so excited to see to our beach house. It was the perfect getaway-I'm sure we'll do it again in the future. We were able to find sand dollars, crabs, build sand castles, and excercise all along the sandy Oregon Coast. The water is freezing, so we didn't do any swimming, although at the aquarium, Jake got his fair share of water. There was this seal, named Raegan, who soaked Jake by splashing him everytime Jake threw him a little fishy treat. It was so funny, we couldn't stop laughing. One day we decided to go on a hike to a lighthouse that was just across the OR/WA border. And of couse we had to support the Dairy Industry by visiting the Tillamook Cheese Factory, which was along Highway 101. We couldn't leave without cheese curds and ice cream-so delicious! Our trip was just what we needed, thanks Austin and Keely for the a nice summer break!

It's crazy how far you have to travel to meet up with your neighbors! We visited and did a little shopping with Lyle and Kelly one afternoon.
