R2J2
My cousins Jessica and Jocelyn brought their families and came to Oregon for my nephew Logan's farewell. What made it a bonus is that it was also Jessica, Rhoda and my birthday. Hence the R2J2. We named this special week and decided we would celebrate each year a new place. From now on, we will try to make it a week together more often than not.
This year we went to the Oregon coast, we hiked Opal Creek, we ate way too much food, we stayed up late laughing, and we spent all our time together. Here are a few highlights from our trip.
We toured Tillamook cheese factory. The kids found it amazing. It was pretty cute and I haven't taken the kids before. They were impressed and now they want to buy Tillamook cheese or ice cream whenever we shop. So I guess the marketing design around the tours is paying off.
Tony and Jocelyn wanted to go to a lighthouse they went to when they were married, so we toured that. And we got to see the octopus tree, which is actually pretty cool.
The men went crabbing and came back with 60 crab. We ate so much crab that night. We had it on fettuccine noodles, on top of salads, plain old dip it in butter, and any way we could get it.
We took our kids to a pottery place and let them paint. They mailed us the items after they were ready to go and they look pretty cool. The kids love drinking out of their new mugs and putting them on the coasters they painted.
We went to the ocean every day. It was warm, sometimes windy, but always amazing. We were so close that we just walked down the road about four houses and we were on the beach.
