Oregon Coast

In April, 4 of us went to the Oregon Coast, on the one weekend that it was 80 degrees. It was so nice to walk around Seaside in my sandals. We left on a Thursday afternoon and stayed the night at Jen's aunt's house outside of Portland, and on Friday went up to Fort Stevens to get a camping spot. The funny thing was we had to camp in the RV area because they had had some massive storm and a lot of trees had fallen down and most of the tent areas were inaccessible. So we got a really good spot right next to the bathrooms. Complete with raccoons.

We went to the Tillamook Cheese Factory and watched them package up lots of cheese and ate some really good ice cream.

On Saturday we went to the beach to look at this shipwreck during low tide. The thing was that although there were not that many people there, the few people that were there had dogs that they let off the leash, and were running around knocking people down and getting into fights with other dogs.

I don't know who these people are but we thought they were crazy. It may have been 80 degrees, but the ocean was still freezing. And they were out there jumping and swimming in it.

We also found about six whole sand dollar's. I didn't get any pictures of those.

Chris decided that he wanted to make Jen and I feel better about being "short", so he dug himself into the sand. He is normally as tall as Dave, who is like 6' 8". So Jen and I felt short all weekend. It was kinda weird.

You write well. It must be all that reading.
