Labor Day Weekend 2

So many pictures....
The beach was pretty gosh darn cold!
It was very fun to hang out...on the sand.
Spencer made Kenz and I go in the water a few times,
but so COLD!!!


Here is Spencer trying out his skim board... it wasn't
that great, so he used it more to body surf



We stayed until the fog came in so thick that you couldn't
see the ocean anymore and the tide was coming up rather
quickly.

We went to check out the Tillamook air museum, but
it cost a little more than what I wanted to spend, so
this is as close as we got!

The ice cream in Tillamook was pretty delicious, but alas,
the pictures refuse to download!  We went to the Tillamook Farmer's  Market
and had some fantastic legit Thai food.  Which then my camp food paled in comparison.

Due to very little camping gear, all our meals had to either be on a stick or
in my dutch oven.  Hence....Spaghettios!  They were great...
until Spencer accidently sat in his!!


The rest of the meals seemed to fair a little better!



Labor Day Weekend

Yes, I realize that the rest of you are talking about Halloween,
and I have yet to update my blog from SEPTEMBER!!!
But, here goes...
For our 2 year anniversary we decided we wanted to go on a bike trip,
which then turned into taking our bikes while camping,
to leaving the bikes at home and going camping with Spencer's
little sister!  Loved it!

We camped in Garibaldi, OR- it's near Tillamook.  We were right
on the bay/ocean.  Super pretty at night!

We were told that these are the tallest falls in Oregon (outside Tillamook). 
It seemed pretty small to me.  The trail was closed,
so we couldn't go much closer.  Good way to start the morning!



Next on the trip was the shortest lighthouse!
Cape  Meares was pretty cool, and way more
touristy than the falls.  
This is the Largest/tallest or something tree in Oregon in 2009.
It was huge!!!!

The ocean was so pretty!! It was starting to get foggy,
but not too bad.

They call this the "Octopus" tree.  I think
it was my favorite part of the whole trip!
