day four - family

I know i said this trip was just about us but sometimes you just have to take opportunities when they come.

On thursday we decided to more up the coast from Newport to Nehalem Bay State Park. One thing we learned on this trip is that ALL of Oregon's state parks along the coast are 100% reservations only. If you haven't planned ahead you have to wait and see if anyone has canceled or is leaving early.

We always got in but one guy in line had been trying for two days... After setting up in our new location we drove up to Sunset beach just 32 miles up the coast where Aunt Dorris and Uncle Knude's family was having their family reunion. We couldn't not go see them when they were SO close. We had so much fun playing in the water..

and Dave built a fire so we could all keep warm, cook hotdogs and roast marshmallows!

As you can see from the pictures it was not a sunny day but,
it was so fun to see them and spend a few relaxing hours on the beach.
