Explore // The Oregon Coast


We went on our first vacation as a family to the Oregon Coast. We had an absolutely marvelous time! Here are the highlights of our trip:

Cannon Beach







Tillamook



The 3 Capes Scenic Loop



South Beach





Oregon Coast Aquarium


Hiking to Drift Creek Falls





Beautiful Sunsets




The Devil's Punchbowl

Beverly Beach




Yaquina Head Lighthouse




Nye Beach



Who needs Hawaii when we have beautiful beaches within a half a days drive? (Don't get me wrong, we also love Hawaii!) We had some wonderful evenings out and enjoyed dining at Tidal Raves in Depoe Bay, Cafe Mundo in Newport - complete with a live blues band, and Andaman Thai in Lincoln City. Those are our Top 3 Recommendations should any of you readers visit the Oregon Coast. Yum Yum. Good food always seems to go with good times!

we're back!


We just returned home from our first Family Vacation. We spent five wonderful days on the Oregon Coast. I'll sort through all of our pictures and then post some and tell you all about what a great time we had on our trip! Until then...here is our first family photo (we took our tri-pod and did what we could with the timer). I think heaven definitely includes sandy beaches!
