The Gines family took our bi-annual trip to the Oregon coast. (Travis and Nat weren't able to come because Trav has a new job a Primary Children's Hospital and didn't have enough vacation time.) Eleven days of bliss. I don't think we've ever had a vacation where everyone got along so well. Truly a memorable trip. This was Jeremy's first trip, so it was fun to share with him the places we love.
At Multunoma Falls we hiked to the bridge to ohhh and ahhhh.
Horseshoe Falls on the Columbia River Gorge.
We only took 2 cars for the 10 of us. We were going to rent a U-Haul trailer to haul all our gear. Well, the Saturday before, we brought up the idea of buying a truck and by that night we had a Dodge Truck. It really is a comfortable ride. I even like it. We so do things on the spur of the moment. It was the only one we even drove.
Portland was having a heat wave with temperatures of 107 degrees. So many people came to the beach to cool off, we couldn't believe it was Oregon, looked more like San Diego. We actually swam and played in the ocean. Now that's a change. This is the view out of our 8th story room. Fabulous views.
Gage hates getting sand on his feet, so he won't walk on the sand, but he loves to dig and play in it.
Kelli and Jeremy at the beach at Seaside in front of our condo.
I love this picture of Adam and Jessica. It really shows their cute personalities. This is at the fish hatchery.
Katie's family at the Yaquina Bay lighthouse.
Jeremy and Gage at Indian beach.
MyKelle absolutely loves the water. She chased the waves with Poppy and dug in the mud. 
Here she is at Cape Kwanda building a sand castle. 
Yep, it was an amazing trip. When do we go again?
