oceanside


after the conference we drove to oceanside, oregon for a few days. my parents rented this cute house on a hill overlooking the ocean. house was the whiteish one just to the lower right of the teal one. such a perfect spot.
i always wonder what they are talking about...
of course we had to stop at the tillamook factory because - ice cream. yum.
jungle livin'
you could climb through this rock tunnel to explore another beach. it was cool...both literally and figuratively.
our weekend home.

that is a root ball we are standing on...
these were the mushrooms from ONE HIKE.

millions of little jellies all over the beach
we could not have asked for better weather. it's october and the sun was out and it was plenty warm. score!

vancouver and portland

adam had a conference in vancouver, so we headed over with him and touristed while he "worked." the kids always love the hotel pool
i prefer the jacuzzi
the view from our room was perfect. i have a thing for bridges:)
the food trucks rallys are the best
OMSI is SO FUN
so strong;)
the building used to be where they would bring ships in to repair them. they have left some spaces open so you can see the old machinery. it's pretty cool.
