Of course seeing my little brother Rick, his beautiful wife Wendy and the kids was a big treat!!
The wildlife!! These little fawns were in Ricks yard on Sunday with their mother. Yes, the one is taking a crap on the lawn.... (kids will be kids)
We got to tour a Coast Guard boat that was in port. Very interesting!
Of course the fire works from our condo balcony!
A great 4th of July Steak dinner enjoyed on the balcony of the condo!
The breathtaking views of the ocean. (I look like a dork with my eyes closed)
The Peter Iredale shipwreck! One of the most photographed shipwrecks ever!
Our Seaside Resort! It's beautiful!

Looks fun mom. I think Jon and I will have to go there someday- I love the beach. And how fun for you to go with g-ma and g-pa.
I love that part of the country. Oh and that is a bananna slug, if you lick it it will turn your toung numb (our highschool always took a science camping trip to the coast and the guys always dared eachother to lick them)
Curtis and I wanted to go to the coast this summer but plans changed. Looks like a wonderful trip! Some day we'll make it out there. Glad you made it home safe and sound.
OK, we all have to go! My brother wants to have a family reunion there (for my dad's family) so in a couple of years we could all go and have the time of our lives! There is so much to see and do! It is totally awesome. It would be fun for us all to go so start planning, saving, etc etc!
Man. Brigitte beat me to it. I was going to astound you with my knowledge of Bananna slugs. grrr. I love Astoria. We want to go next time!
How special! What fun to spend this vacation with your parents. I love how theyre so out and about. :) I love your pictures.
Happy Anniversary - wow, can't believe it has been four years already...
looks like you had a great time - and what beautiful countryside -
good to keep up on your clan -
give us a call sometime when you are over in the big city
Looks like you had a great time! Great pictures! We've been wanting to go to the Oregon Coast. We were going to go last year but had to cancel. So we settled for a seaside themed room at the Anniversary Inn - it was great! (It was South Pacific rather than the Oregon Coast. The bed was in a hut and the walls were painted beautifully with a coastline and waterfalls. The shower/jetted tub was also a waterall. Pretty cool. Definitely recommend the Anniversary Inn to anyone - we loved it). Can't wait till the reunion in Astoria - that will be so fun!
?'s: Does anyone live in the Goonie house? And did you guys watch that movie while you were there? Just wondering.
OH MY LANDS!!!! Our family just got back from there too! We stayed at the same hotel, watched fireworks from our balcony, we also went to the column in astoria, went to cape disappointment, ate at the Bowpicker...everything. I can't believe we didn't run into each other, especially staying at the same hotel! crazy!!!!!! I'm glad you had a fun trip. Ours was great too. Our highlights are at joshandjengillespie.blogpost.com
Talk to you soon!
