Our First Adventure to the Oregon Coast Together











Ahh, sand dollars, slimy fish, and squawking whiskered little seals. Tillamook ice cream, sandy clothes, salt-water taffy, and annoying sea gulls. Made-to-order complimentary breakfast and a gorgeous view of the sea from our room, beautiful green trees that never end, ferns and plant life that seem unrealistic. Waterfalls that mystify. Fancy art. Adorable little beach homes. Crashing waves. Endless beaches. A memory I will never forget. I forgot just how beautiful Oregon was. I didn't want to leave. I don't know that Devin wanted to either. I would love to live there. There is something about letting go of what you have in one place, even if just for a moment, and taking off on an adventure to somewhere new...especially with someone you have fun with. If anyone ever feels like the world is a cruel and ugly place, they should take a trip to the Oregon coast. Take your best friend along. Your paradigm will shift in no time. God's beauty is EVERYWHERE in Oregon. It is simply breathtaking. Bring a camera.
