Week One

Hey Everybody!



Crescent Beach, Washington



This may not be the most personal way of keeping in touch with each of you but keeping up with writing two families worth of e-mails just seemed too time consuming. As you know we only have two months of vacation and we have no free time whatsoever.



Day one included a lot of running around and a lot of driving but we made it to Crescent Beach Washington safe and sound.  We pulled in late in the day and slept in the usual spot (a vacant pull-out on the side of the road) getting poured on with rain.  We woke up to beautiful blue skies and spent the day paddleboarding and hanging out in the sun on the beach….by four o’clock we got bored and decided it was time to move on and make our way down the coast.  We figured we can come to Washington any weekend of the year and thought it would be best to move on and explore a little further south.



Nehalem State Beach, Oregon



By Wednesday morning we had crossed the Columbia River into Oregon and checked out Seaside and Cannon Beach….the weather still bright, sunny and hot!  After checking out those spots we found a nice campground called Nehalem State Park and we’ve been here for the last couple nights relaxing, surfing and learning how to do nothing…. But we’re not very good at it yet.



Columbia River Bridge, Washington to Oregon

Today is a travel day and we are moving our way down the Oregon Coast.  Next stop should be somewhere near Tillamook to enjoy more surf and sun!  Keep checking in we will try and update as much as we can; we will post some pictures on the next post.  Bye for now!

P.s. Auntie D’Arcy the cookies are gone and we need you to mail more.
