Oregon Coast Or Bust

The day after Mother's Day the three of us (Bella had to stay home) packed up the car and headed towards the ocean for a fun little random trip. The weather report said it was going to be 75 degrees and sunny and since this is completely unheard of at the Oregon Coast we didn't even take a second to think about it. On our drive over we had the sunroof open, music playing, and great conversations were had. As soon as we neared the coast, the gloom set in. There was that dark gray fog that we have come to know so well. We shook it off thinking that it was going to burn off soon. So, the three of us jumped out of the car in our shorts and shirts and crossed our fingers that it would warm up quickly because it was chilly absolutely freezing.

The biggest theme you will see from these photos is Eden's current obsession with birds. The second will be the gray clouds. 

You may not be able to see the birds, but they are most definitely there. The girl cried when we left them.

Since we were frozen all the way to our insides we ran over to Kyllos in Lincoln City and grabbed a bowl of clam chowder and a hazelnut salad. SOOO GOOD and exactly what we needed. 

And then we went home.

So yes, we drove an hour to get to the coast, saw the ocean for 5 minutes, ate, and came home. Not exactly what we expected at all, but it ended up being exactly what we needed. Maybe one day I will see the sun at the Oregon Coast...but after almost 20 years of living here I seriously doubt it. 

*By the way...Eden's boyfriend turned ONE this past weekend and his party was nothing short of AMAZING. Seriously my twin has talent. She says she couldn't have done it without me, but the girl is just crazy because she worked hard on that party and it shows. I CANNOT WAIT to show you all photos of his day and show you the invite her and I worked on together. That post is coming soon...I even already have the photos ready so I am not just saying that ;)
