The Oregon Coast Part Two

Yesterday we drove from Astoria, Oregon to Crescent City, California on Highway 101 along the coast and to say the scenery was gorgeous would be an understatement!  Every time we rounded a corner and saw a new view, it would take our breath away (especially when there was a fog rolling in).  We made quite a few stops along the way.

Cannon Beach

Yaquina Head Lighthouse

Heceta Head Lighthouse

Umpqua River Lighthouse (this is a working lighthouse operated by the U.S. Coast Guard)

I loved all of the random rocks sticking out of the water all along the coastline.  Oregon is a beautiful place!

The Oregon Coast Part One

Yesterday we left Wenatchee, Washington and drove approximately five hours to get to the coast of Oregon!  It was a really pretty drive through forests and across rivers.  We stopped for the night in Astoria (we saw the house from Goonies but we didn't get a picture because it is private property and the owners do not appreciate trespassers) and went to Fort Stevens State Park to hang out at the beach for most of the afternoon and evening.  We both loved this spot because you could drive right on the beach and there were very few people there because it was cold (but we still got very sunburned).  I loved listening to the waves crash against the beach because it was so soothing!

We came back to the beach after dinner in order to see the sunset and it was spectacular!

It was great to be able to spend so much time here!

Visiting Cambria (And Her Parents) in Washington

Marilyn and I arranged our summer road trip specifically so we could see Cambria (and her parents) because we miss her so much.  We drove to Washington on Saturday and had a lot of fun spending time with Tucker and Tashena (who took us to some really fun places, including some great local restaurants as well as the dam where Tucker works, and entertained us at their house) and snuggling the most adorable baby ever.  We were so sad to leave today because it has been a wonderful visit but we will see them in Utah really soon!  Here is a cuteness overload of Cambria!

We love this precious baby so much!

We love her parents, too!
