Family Vacation

You know when you have a relative that goes on a vacation then tries to show you countless pictures and tell you a lot of stories about it? I don't want to be that relative... but I am going to share some of our favorite pictures because we had such a good week. Last night the family got together and we cooked all of the seafood we caught and it was delicious. I am thankful I had the opportunity to take Boston on such a fun and memory filled family vacation. 

The first night we had to stay in Portland and their were no rooms... finally after calling everywhere we found a three bedroom place and all of us crammed in it. It was actually really fun but I think we will call ahead next time.

We drove up to the Mt. St. Helen's museum the next day and stopped at a Big Foot siting.

Her first time in the ocean. It was so fun for me to be able to show her.

Not so gracefully trying to do tricks on the beach.

We kept souvenir shops in business. 

Playing in the hot tub with Boston and Bracken.

A day at the Newport Aquarium. 

Visiting Lighthouses. 

My parents crab fishing.

And this little bugger pinched me.

We all were matching one night.

My little mermaid on the beach.

We went to the Tillamook cheese factory.

Out on the pier.

Boston loves grandma so so much.

Dancing to the sound of the waves.

Our house was literally just steps away from the ocean. We loved it.

Me, my dad, and my oldest nephew, Grant at the high tide.

Very best friends.

I got to go running on the beach every night. I will miss that the most.
