The beach

While we were in Oregon, Anthony and I made a quick trip to the beach. We left the kids with my parents and stayed the night in Lincoln City. It was very 'last minute'. We decided at about 1pm that it would be fun, and by about 1:30 we were on the road. We had a few places to stop, and we took the scenic route; but we got there in time to get settled, then walk on the beach and see the beautiful sunset. It was FREEZING! Quite a nice change from the 100+ degree we were experiencing in the Portland area, but I didn't even take anything warm to wear. We had one small, thin fleece blanket in the back of the car that I bundled up in. We tried getting our feet in the water, and Anthony tried to get me out a little deeper. NO WAY!!
During the day, it was about 70 degrees and sunny. Perfect weather to be enjoying the beach. We did a little shopping, then headed home. We had a great, relaxing time!

This was so funny, I had to take a picture! We went out for brunch, and at the restaurant we saw a truck that had newspapers taped to the windshield for a sun visor. They were from Texas. Yeah, they're probably just not used to seeing sun there! ;)
