I realize it has been awhile, but not only am I back, I'm back with pictures from our fabulous trip to the Oregon Coast. Last week Curt and I headed to the pacific northwest for a relaxing getaway with family. Manzanita to be specific, which is about 45 minutes south of Astoria. And what a great time we had, I am officially in love with the Oregon Coast. All the rain and cool weather is just fine by me.
Curt and I enjoying the sand in front of our beach house.
One day we drove to Cape Meares to see the lighthouse and this crazy old tree called "Octopus Tree". It's hundreds of years old and "experts" aren't quite sure how it formed the way it did.
Here's a shot from Cape Meares. Anyone else thinking Goonies?
This is the lighthouse at Cape Meares. Notice the broken glass panels? A couple months ago, some young hoodlums fired twelve rounds into the lighthouse, which has not only infuriated locals and lighthouse workers, but caused over $500,000 worth of damages. Punks.

Curt flying his kite on the beach.
Paul, this picture really is for you. The second his kite was in the air he said, "Look at me now Paul!"
Sunset on Manzanita Bay.
This is Hug Point, which was such good times. At low tide, we walked around a point and had access to amazing beach, caves, and this beautiful little waterfall.
We discovered a pool of sea anemones, danced on the beach with the fam, and collected sand dollars. Needless to say, we had a great time and, luckily, this was the nicest day we had, warm and sunny.
The city of Manzanita.
What a fun trip! I can definitely see this becoming a tradition. Thanks to Curt and you great Seattle-ites for making this vacation so memorable!
