Romilly and Daddy
Finally getting around to posting about our trip to Portland and the Oregon Coast. What a wonderful vacation that turned into. Romilly had a great visit with her Aunt Jessica and Uncle Erik. It was so nice to visit their home; we felt relaxed immediately because of their hospitality and cozy home They helped us to feel more than welcome. I found myself, on more than one occasion, feeling a bit out of sorts, realizing later that all of the touches that Jessica had put into the Junebug Cottage were things that Scott has put into our home and it was disorienting me to be so far from, yet still so close to, home.
The Loggers
After a night's stay and wonderful dine out with Jessica and Erik (they took us to a nice eatery and for a lovely walk through the nieghborhood), the following morning led us to the coast. We changed our itenerary, as we often do, and decided to drive south from Cannon Beach to Cape Lookout State Park for some rockhounding. We stopped for the obligatory brekkie at Camp 18 first and took the first of many shots of Rom and The Logger.
Dig Dug
The drive south was lovely and the return trip through Tillamook County even lovlier (despite my sleepies) and even though we did not find a single agate, Romilly enjoyed having miles of beach to herself and took advantage accordingly. Note to new parents first timing on the beach: Bring an extra diaper, sand and baby bottoms do not mix.
Tub Time
We returned that evening and had some more quality time with our family before our early morning departure on Tuesday. One more tourist-y stop at Multunomah Falls and then we reluctantly headed home. All and all, a lovely, lovely trip to finish off our summer vacationing.
Until Next Time!
