Here we are at the Oregon coast. The beach is firm and smooth and easy to walk and run on this time of year. We had lunch at Mo's which is famous for their clam chowder and home made bread. Then we ventured out on Cannon Beach which has this big rock that is really awesome. Rachel said it is the most photographed spot in Oregon. There were all kinds of sealife living on the rocks. We explored and found lots of bright orange and purple starfish that had sparkly looking drops on their backs that looked like silver beads. Also many barnacles, sea anemone, and hermit crabs, as well as other things that we didn't know the names of. It was all fascinating and different than anything I had ever seen before! We stayed at Seaside in a really nice resort with a view of the ocean from the deck. (Thanks to Rachels' parents the Bells who were so nice to let us use time share.) It was chilly and crisp like holiday winter should be, but no rain and wind while we were there, so was a great time for us to go. Erik cooked steaks on the grill that night too, so we were really treated with the best of everything! It was a fun time for us, and we hope to make it a tradition to come to the coast of Oregon.

Hi Aunt Valeni, I see you are over in Newport. Lance and Troy and I live in Grants Pass, which is 5 hours from Newport. I love Mo's it is my favorite place to eat when we head over that way. Are you staying until Christmas or heading back sooner. Hope your having a wonderful time, the Oregon Coast is beautiful. I think we should have a reunion here in the next couple of years. Down in Brookings there is a place called Whaleshead, that has completley furnsihed cabins that are very nice. Any ways enjoy you trip, Love, Megan
Hi Megan, It is fun to hear from you and to know that you are in that area also. I think a reunion up there for our family is a great idea too! We are home now,we stayed just a week, but hope to go again when we can. Thanks for ebing in touch!
