Oregon Trip!

We just got back from our 8 day vacation to the
Oregon Coast. It was wonderful to get away and
to spend time with each other. We went with Bretts brother's Mike and Eric, and Jamie, Mikes wife. We went to see some waterfalls and lighthouses. We went to an aquarium where we could feed some sealions. We toured the Tillamook Cheese Factory and got us an ice cream cone. Great Ice Cream!

It tooks us along time to drive. But it was a beautiful one, well as soon as it started to get light out. We left at midnight and drove most of the way while Max was sleeping. Excellent idea! The best thing we brought with us was a portable DVD player that my sister let us borrow. It came with a Baby Einstein DVD. In which Max was kept entertained most of the way.
We went shoppings on the boardwalk and we bought some kites that were
flown on the beach. But because of the wind from the ocean flying a kite was
easy, no running involved. Brett just put a rock on the kite string and the kite
stayed flying. Easy! Max and I played in the sand with his dump truck, that
Uncle Eric bought him. Then we chasted the seagulls. It was a great time.

Max's favorite thing was to swim in the kiddie pool. Which started at a
slope at 1 inch and went up to 1 1/2 feet. It was very warm. He kept crawling
up and down the slope until his face was in the water then he would turn around.

The condo we stayed in was nice, it had a balcony that Max liked to play on.
It also had a grill that we cooked up some hot dogs.
