When we left off there was a lot coming up, Dads heart procedure went perfect. Jill's wedding was beautiful and we went on our first road trip as a family of 3!!
We pulled out of good 'ol Magna at 11 Friday night. I was thinking that we could drive through the night and make it to OR by noonish Saturday. Boy was I wrong!!
We finally got there safely and were so blessed to stay with our friends the Cash's!! They are amazing.
We were SO excited to go to the beach. Eldon had high hopes of wanting to surf. We got all geared up, we had our swimming suits packed. Water bottles, fruit and chex mix. We were so excited.
On our way to the beach we stopped at Tillamook cheese factory it was SO cool.
here are Hallie and Ava
and Zuri and Colbie
it was cool to see how they cut and package the cheese. It was a clean factory, makes me feel good about buying it :)
they put 800 pounds of curds in the towers to press down into the 40 pound blocks.
We of course had to get ice cream. MMM it was so good. We all loved it.
She was ready to go to the beach!! Looking Fabulous!!
We pull up to the beach and the first thing Eldon asks is "why is everyone wearing a hoodie?"
as soon as we got out of the car we knew. IT WAS SO COLD.
I am just glad that I packed sweats for Little Miss. We went to Cannon Beach (where the Goonies was filmed) it was amazing. I could have stayed at the beach and listed to the ocean all day.
Zuri feeling the sand for the first time.
This is Haystack Rock. it was so cool. we walked down, and all the little rocks that get covered by the tide were covered with mussels, the rocks made clicking noises because of the crustaceans, and star fish. We were stupid and didn't bring the camera with us down there. (biggest regret of the trip) I have never seen so many star fish, there were hundreds attached to the bottom of the rocks and left in the little tide pools.
The water was freezing, but I couldn't resist.
we tried to get a good picture of all 3 of our feet in the ocean, but as soon as little miss felt the water she screamed. :(
it wasn't her favorite thing, but then again on our way to OR is when she started teething :( poor baby.
she did like eating the sand though.
mmmm turkey, bre, and roasted peppers!!
We had to get doughnuts!!
I loved the tunnels.
she was wiped out.
Multnohmah falls (spelled wrong) but so cool right off the freeway.
We had such a great trip. It was so nice to get out of our regular routine and spend time with some of our favorite people. The Cash's are so great, and I am so thankful for them. I love that we were able to spend our whole trip with them. I also think it was fitting to spend our anniversary (6 years, woot woot) with them since Claudia is the one that introduces us.

It was amazing to come out of the forest of OR (you are always surrounded with trees) to see the ocean.

We had such an amazing time at the beach.
The next day we were able to go and see Portland, There is water everywhere. I have never seen so many bridges in my life.
we went to the grilled cheese bus for lunch. The cold on those swollen gums was so nice.
after our fun trip into the city we had a doughnut tasting, and was able to hang out.
These two sweet girls are only 6 days apart.

I loved every minute of this trip.
