Oregon Coast

May 2011

We love the Oregon Coast!!  This was our big family vacation for the summer.  We headed out right after school ended.  We'd found a great deal at a hotel in Newport.  We had so much fun walking around the harbor and seeing sea lions up close.  We toured the UnderSea Gardens, Ripley's Believe it Or Not Museum, and the Wax Museum.  We swam in the ocean,  spent hours exploring tide pools, and toured two cool lighthouses.   Carter's birthday was that week and his gift was a deep-sea fishing trip.  While he was gone fishing, the kids and I searched out fossils at Beverly Beach and swam in the ocean till we were frozen, then came back and warmed up in the hotel hot tub.  He did great fishing, by the way, and came home with lots of delicious fish.  I made a slideshow of all the fun pictures...

Dear Tendra and Carter,

So fun to see your blog and your cute family! I was just home visiting my mom and came across your Christmas letter with your blog address. It's been too long since we ran into you guys in the Baltimore airport. Remember that??? Anyway, check out our blog if you want - thefamilyjewells.blogspot.com

Take care!
