The Oregon Coast


The Andrew Family Reunion at the Oregon Coast was wonderful. After many months of dreading the drive, we left on Wednesday night. We did have some "minor" trouble on the way. We made it after a long 14 hours to Manzanita on Thursday evening. Our hotel was right on the beach, and beautiful. It was a bit chilly for my taste. My idea of a beach vacation is soaking up the rays while laying on the beach. That did not happen in Oregon! :) We did have a beach day, and the kids didn't mind how cool it was. We flew kites, played in the ocean, and built things in the sand. There was also a swimming pool at the hotel, so we spent some time there as well. We were able to see cousins, Aunts, Uncles, and most importantly... Grandma Ruby. It was nice to see her and to visit. We all love her so much! Casey and I decided that family vacations are tough, but worth it. We loved the time we were able to spend together.

I received some sage advice a long time ago... "If you're not exhausted after a family vacation, it was not successful!!" ...Only problem is that you need another vacation to recoup!
