We dropped Brian off for his last week in Olympia and Cory and I came home. I was so tired and I was amazed that my little man stayed awake the whole car ride home until 11pm and kept me up! It was kind of fun actually and I was so glad he had!
I had one week at home to arrange things, Brian came home, we went to a Montgomery Gentry concert Friday night, and then Saturday morning headed back south for our real Oregon vacation...
Welcome to August!
First stop, Jason and Amber's house!


Then it was off to Newberg for church (where we went in college) and lunch with our lovely friends, the Cadds, who live in Kenya! Lucky for us we got to see them since they were leaving the next day to go home! Once again, silly me, no pictures.
And finally Sunday afternoon we arrived in Newport for a week's vacation with the grandparents. Unfortunately I apparently hadn't read the house description quite well enough and we were short one queen size bed... so Brian and I played Leave it to Beaver all week on twin beds. He even got one that was listing! Appropriate since the house was entirely nautical themed.
Cory was in heaven with both sets of grandparents there plus Auntie Allison! I must admit it was pretty nice for me to have all those extra hands. I was a bit grumpy due to a) the house situation b) pretty sure the house was moldy (hi, Oregon coast) and I have allergies and c) I was feeling nauseous constantly due to the pregnancy, but couldn't tell anyone. So sorry Mom for not being great company! I was only at 6 weeks and we just didn't want to tell anyone quite yet just in case...
The weather was typical coast weather, but we did get at least one day of sun and a few more with no rain!

We could see the beach from the house, but it was up on a cliff so quite a hike to actually get down to the beach. Once again, poor reading of the house description on my part. But did I mention that this was the house Brian's family spent their summer vacations in when he was growing up? Yeah, that was the main reason for staying there. It was also quite cheap and, I must admit, had quite a bit of character!




I particularly like their seals, sea lions, and sea otters and they were all swimming around for us to see! Cory wasn't so sure about the touch tank (with manta rays!), but maybe next time!
And that was just the first half of our week...
I love the oregon coast :)
ReplyDeleteCora and Cory are so cute!!!
