Today, I got up early. I wanted to go down to the beach to see a 'minus tide.' It's when the tide is lower than normal. This was taking place at 6:32am. I made it out there just around 6:30. It was busier than I thought, but super peaceful. There were sand dollars (the boys… Continue reading Our Oregon Coast Adventure: Day 7

Our Oregon Coast Adventure: Day 6
It's essentially our last day here. Tomorrow will be cleaning, packing and leaving. I am sad. I think this may be my new favourite place. Being this close to the ocean has been invigorating. We went to the arcade again this morning. Sean's parents wanted to play the bingo game with us. Let's be honest,… Continue reading Our Oregon Coast Adventure: Day 6

It is inbred into their DNA. But today, they slept in. And I did too! 8:30am! First time in a long…… Continue reading Our Oregon Coast Adventure: Day 2
