We got back from our annual Oregon trip on Sunday. It was amazing as always! We got perfect weather the whole week--mid 70's. We have been lucky every year! Can I say that I just love Oregon? it is so breathtaking! We got our house on the Beach in the quaint little town of Manzanita. Which I adore! We had an awesome week going to our favorite beaches, hiking, shopping in the little towns, eating some dynamite sea food, crabbing, running on the beach, building sand castles, flying kites, hitting up the local farmer's market, playing in the ocean, picking blackberries, and just having fun together! I must say that Oregon is one of my most favorite trips of the year! For any of you who haven't been, it's a must see! I didn't do too much with these picts b/c frankly there are a TOO MaNy! I guess I was trigger happy or something..
Manzanita beach--where we stay! love this viewpoint!
The beach outside our door at Sunset--nothing better
Our First day we went to Indian Beach. It is rated one of the top ten prettiest beaches in the US.

I stole these two landscape picts from Linds--they are awesome!!
Rachel&Caleb- Rachel is Bri's sister. She came along to help babysit the kiddos. She is the cutest girl ever!

The locals
My Dad and I saw these deer while we were out running. Later that day they came right by our house. They let you get really close--pretty fun.
Oswald Beach! you walk down this lush trail, and it opens up to an amazing beach--big for surfing.
