The Oregon Coast

We made a trip back to the Coast with Matt and Tina again. We went three years ago to Beverly Beach and we loved it and so it was time to take you! It was wonderful seeing how much you have progressed just between Hawaii and now with the ocean. You loved the sand about the same, but this time you were much more interested in the water and you weren't afraid of the surf when it came at you. 

We flew kites, played on the beach, went into Newport and ate lunch and walked around, used sparklers and snakes, took a hike, and did the usual camping stuff. It was a blast. You were pretty disinterested with the sparklers, snakes, and kite, but you did love the ocean and of course being outside. 

You were also awesome on the car ride! I was so proud of you. I must admit I was worried about the return trip. On the way out to the coast we spend the night in Bend and so we only had to drive 5 hours on Friday evening and then another 5 on Saturday. On the way home though we made the full 10 hour drive home in one day. We had the dvd player for you only for 2 hours of that 10 and you were very patient and did well. You only napped another 2.5 hrs of that so you were awake for quite a bit of it. What a great little traveler you are becoming! 

I wish we could take you to the ocean every day.
