Beautiful Oregon

A few weeks ago Jaren and I had a fun vacation with Grandma Rogers, Great Grandma Pat, Aunt Jessie, Braxton, and Brogan. We flew into Portland, rented a car, and spent five days driving along the coast in Oregon. It was so incredibly beautiful there! The weather was nice and sunny most of the time, but was still a little cooler than my liking.
Although we drove along the coast we stayed in Newport!
Newport is such a quaint little town!

Our Hotel on the beach in Newport! All the houses in Oregon are this style, a little different, but sure pretty!

It was dark down in the caves so I couldn't get my camera to take any good pictures of the Sea Lions, but they were really awesome.
A little SMELLY and LOUD, but awesome!

Pretty Views!


Playing on the Beach

Jaren loved the open space and freedom to run Far, Far away from his mom!




Me & My little Man


After a long day the kids chilled out and watched Toy Story! Aunt Jessie got them their cute Jammies!

To Infinity & Beyond!!

Pretty Bridge in Newport

Jaren loved touching the starfish at the Aquarium!



Down by the Pier
We ate yummy FRESH shrimp/crab cocktails and clamstrips!

Surfers!
You really gotta love surfing to get in that cold water!

Another pretty lighthouse, we went inside this one, what a long climb to the top!
The views were worth it though!

Starfish



I Love Hydrangea flowers! These things are growing everywhere!

Standing in line to get a Maple Bacon Bar in Portland.
Sounds sick, but it was really YUMMY!

Notice some of the donut names!

THANK YOU Portland for having this at the airport.
We couldn't have survived our 3 hour delay without it!
