Oregon Coast

We made the trip to the Oregon coast that we have been wanting to do for years. We first went to Vancouver for our nephews wedding. We took are little Maltese on the trip with us. Made reservations at pet friendly hotels for our trip. It was fun and she was a conversation starter. We had her in a little summer dress for the wedding.

After the wedding reception, we drove to Salem to my sister's house. My parents and grandmother were already there. We got to go with them to their church and meet some of their friends. We had a nice time.

We went to the Tallamook factory. Here is MerSadies and I enjoying an ice cream.


Then on Monday we left for the coast. Boy did we enjoy ourselves. We are goonie fans and so our first plan was to find goonie things. We found out that since they had just celebrated their 25th anniversary, that the paper had done a hole insert on them. We went to the newspaper and purchased a copy. Then got a map of all the places from the movie. Started going to them.
At the jail, we ran into another goonie fan (fanatic) from Canada. We talked with him for a long time. He told us he had started out his goonie adventure at the chamber of commerce, where they had lots of souvenirs. So we headed there. Got stuff for us and the kids. It was so much fun going to the beach. My little 6 pound Maltese did not know what to think.
Especially when she got caught by the tide. We can't wait to go again.
