Seaside

A couple weekends ago, we conducted an experiement, "is the oregon coast in the winter just as fun as it is in summer?"

Seaside, OR
Jan 23, 2010
(it's really, really cold-like always)


Cannon Beach, OR
(John holds his breath in the wind-he hardly took a breath all weekend)

(Henry and Brooke-fast friends)

(This is a happy kid)

(Nina and Grant)


Haystack Rock

(Mark must be cold, or just wanted a cuddle)


(Don't be fooled, William is NOT smiling in this picture-he is being held against his will)


Bruce's Candy Kitchen


Long Beach, WA
(along the columbia somewhere)


(Astoria Column)

(yes, we're at the top!)



(got up there in time for sunset)




(dirty bathwater)

Jan 24, 2010
(Henry's favorite part of the trip)


Ecola State Park
Jan 25, 2010

(Looks very treacherous-but it's not)

(Tillamook Rock Lighthouse)

(look at that bad beach hair!)

(this is the storm that blew in and we had to RUN!)


Our answer to this question-OF COURSE IT IS! It's about the same temp, but a little more wet, other than that, we will go anytime to the beach, William asks almost everyday, "we go to the beach again in a little minute?"

I love the picture of you and Dave at the top and the rest of those pictures are gorgeous! I want to go there now. I guess you guys are done with being sick, always lovely.

This post makes me want to go back to the beach so badly!!! I'm so jealous that you got to go! It looks like you had a great time. I can't believe you made it to the top of the Astoria Tower while holding the twins... very impressive!

Meredith! What a beautiful family you have. I have never wanted more to go to the beach during the winter, looks like you guys had a great trip!

PS: Oh, I know Brooke! She was a roommate to one of my really good friends at BYU, what a small world. She is so sweet.
