Oregon Coast!
So way back in June, we drove (yes drove) to Oregon for a family vacation with all of my family. We drove up a few days early and had a Memorial Day picnic at my grandma's house. This is my grandma's big party. She digs a pit and slow cooks several meats in dutch ovens. It was fun because we had lot of my cousins and their families there. And as always, great food!
Monday morning we loaded up and headed to Oregon. Jacksen, Logan, and I rode with Nicole, Chad, and Makinley, and my brother Mike. Carl was going to join us later in the week. Look at this girly. Beautiful blue eyes and red ruby lips. Love her!
We stopped for dinner at McD's. Jacksen and Noah getting some much needed wiggles out. That night we stayed in Bend, Oregon.
The next day, we stopped at this waterfall, Sahalie Falls.

So we finally made it to the coast. This is above Sea Lion Cave. Underneath is a cave made by a volcano. Inside are tons of sea lions.
See- I told you, tons!
Welcome to Oregon!

It's hard to tell, but my brothers are completely drenched. It was a very rainy day!
So we finally arrived at the beach house. We were going to be here for 3 nights. What an amazing place. It's huge family room had big windows facing the ocean (we were right on the ociean), 7 rooms, and a mysterious hot tub that we never found -wierd.
My mom and dad's suite. It had a mini kitchen and sitting area and patio.
Upstairs hall, straight ahead- mom and dad's room, to the left, a little loft for the kids, left again, stairs going down, left again-bathroom, behind me my room, to the right- 2 other rooms.
Our bedroom. Perfect. We put Jacksen's playpen in the little nook, then there was 2 single beds. Colton slept with me until the last night when Carl came, then Colton slept on the little bed in the nook.
That night we went to Mo's. Really good food and good times!!

How fun is that! You were pretty near where we live. Love the beach house! Did you enjoy that drive? ughh.
Wow! All of it is so beautiful! I wanna go!
What a beautiful place! And it sounds like you guys had a great time. Reading this and seeing the pics made me even more anxious for the family reunion we're having with Dustin's family at a cabin in Idaho. The hot tub there isn't a hidden mystery though ;)
