So I have been totally slacking in my updates and have resolved to be better about keeping my blog updated as I also use this as a journal of sorts. This August we were able to take a very much needed vacation. The first part of our journey took us to the beautiful but cold Oregon Coast. We stayed in Lincoln City, Oregon in a beach house directly above the beach for one whole week. During that time we played games, ate great food, and took many little day trips.
One of our first little trips took us to Cow Country and the Tillamook Cheese Factory. Look at how excited I am to be there!
The most enjoyable part about the Cheese factory was the Squeaky Cheese and Icecream, Yum! After the Cheese factory we made our way to the Cape Meares Lighthouse where we enjoyed a nature walk and beautiful views.
After the lighthouse we found a great little beach by Pacific City, Oregon. There we found a dark tunnel/cave and had some fun playing in the sand and waves.
The next day we made are way South to Depoe bay where we stopped at the Visitors Center learned a few things, hit the tourist shops and of course couldnt pass up the lure of Salt Water Taffy. For lunch we headed to the Devils Punch Bowl, where we had a very cold picnic and watched the crazy people surf. BRRRR! After the Punch bowl we then headed to the Oregon Coast Aquarium. The kids had a great time watching the sea lions play around and also enjoyed walking through the tunnel of sharks. For dinner we made the requisite trip to Mos for some fish and chips and chowder. A trip to the Oregon Coast is not complete without a trip to Mos.
Day 3 the girls headed to the Outlet malls while everyone else relaxed and napped. After the Mall we made our way to Moolack beach where we found lots of interesting agates and rocks. The boys decided to be brave and do a polar bear swim while Mckenzie and I were content to stay on the beach.
The final day on the Oregon Coast we relaxed, played volleyball on the beach, and had a bonfire on the beach.
After a week of good times on the Oregon coast we headed back to Parma for a break before we we left for the next chapter of our vacation.

That is really weird that you where in lincoln city in august because my family and I on my dad's side have been doing a family reunion in Lincoln city for like 30 years in august. What dates in august did you go to Lincoln city? Alan and I didn't go this year though. I have been to almost all of the places you mentioned. I love it there.
