{oregon2010}

Our Oregon trip was a blast as always. This is our fourth year in a row that we have come to stay in Manzanita on the coast of oregon. Not only do i love it because it is gorgeous,and we always have so much fun; i love it because it is a tradition, and when i look back at previous years---and see how the kids have grown, it marks life at that moment. We already have so many great memories there, it is great to go back. The week is spent on the beach outside our door, and our favorites that are close: Ecola and Oswald to name a few. We love to go to Cannon Beach and shop and of course the seafood is delish. The farmer's market in Manzanita on Friday evening is a must! We talk about the gourmet burger they have all year long! I love this time with my fam to relax, play on the beach, and just enjoy each other~
I have so many picts it's a little ridiculous! so if you can believe it--here are just a few of our week.....
