We arrived in Seaside. Oregon after an easy drive from Portland. On the way we stopped and filled our water at a natural spring!
Our plan was to have a relaxing day or two on the beach. We've had the relaxing part just not on the beach. Weather has been rainy and unseasonably cool. Kayla is having a slight Crohn's flare up and we have been laying low.
Our plan last night was fireworks on the beach. It doesn't get dark here until 10pm. We had dinner out at a little spot on the riverfront, came back to our hotel, rested a bit and added layers and walked to the beach. KB didn't last. She wasn't feeling well so she and I walked back to the hotel and climbed in bed and watched amazing fireworks from Vancouver on TV.
This shot is outside the resturant on the riverfront in Seaside.
The beach scene is so different from the east coast. There are tons of people, all with their own fireworks, all having dug fire pits in the sand and hanging out around their fires. It was pretty wild. 
Today we laid low, Kay is feeling better, slept and lounged and watched Spiderman on TV while it rained. Truly we all needed a rest day. Yesterday was a tough day with Rachael's tragic news and then Kayla not feeling well. This afternoon we schmied in the beach shops, walked on the beach a bit (a very little bit!), grocery shopped to refill our cooler and are just now figuring out our plans for our drive to California tomorrow.
Playing on the beach in the rain!
And goofing around in the beachshops!!! Look at these hat models!
