At The Coast

Hanging out in the trailer with Grandpa and Dad

Grandpa is so funny!

At the beach with Mom and Dad

Love the ocean!

Dad and Ben were just chasing seagulls!

Pulling in a big catch..

This is a lot of work!

Our big catch - dinner will be on the table soon!

Sea lions in the bay we were crabbing in - they are so cute!

In Oregon, people go to the coast. It's similar to saying we're going to the lake, up north, to the beach, ect. My parents got their new Airstream travel trailer all hooked up Monday morning and we headed west. We stayed at a state park in Nehalem, OR right next to the beach. The weather cooperated relatively well, we even had sun on Tuesday! Ben got to see the Pacific Ocean for the first time, he now has seen 2 different oceans in his little life!! Mom, Dad, and Grandpa went crabbing on Tuesday and got the record catch of the day at the marina - 3 crabs! They made for a tasty dinner with some steak that night. Chris tried crab for the first time, he thought it was "OK". It was a great mini-vacation, my parents trailer is beautiful and comfortable for the 5 of us. Chris and I are headed to Seattle tomorrow for a little honeymoon. Ben is staying with Grandma and Grandpa and I'm not sure who is more excited - Mom and Dad to be getting away alone for a night or Grandma and Grandpa to get Ben alone for a night!
