Each day we went out for a little adventure and then mid to late afternoon we came back to enjoy the absolutely gorgeous beach and surroundings.
Our beach house was literally STEPS from the beach.
It was so amazing!
Day 1-
7-5-18
We flew into Portland then drove about two hours to the town of Neskowin. It was perfect in so many ways. Once there we spent the rest of the day just enjoying the beach and checking out our new home for the next few days.

| The view from our back porch. About 30 seconds away from the beach. The sound of the ocean was so good for my soul. |
 |
| View to the left of our beach house. So gorgeous! |
 |
| Jim's parents came with us. His mom really enjoyed walking along the beach |
 |
| Such a happy girl at the beach Lizzie- 14 years old |
 |
| Liz and Lilly enjoying the beach with a setting sun. |
 |
| Our first of many stunning sunsets Day 2- 7-6-18 |
 |
| Jim and I went on a walk in the morning over to Proposal Rock. It was so overcast and misty. It would do that each morning and then clear up by afternoon. |
 |
| We then headed over to a fish hatchery that was 99% empty :) Hey but at least we got a good grandparent with grandkids picture |
 |
| We found an antique sale where everyone was able to find some good treasures including a stuffed elephant, $1 tools, pillows, and a vintage suitcase |
 |
| Back at the beach Afton found some crabs that she named Steve and Little Steve |
 |
| Ethan really liked drawing these kind of patterns in the sand |
 |
| Beach happiness |
 |
| Perfect beach picture!!! |
Day 3-
7-7-18
 |
| We explored Cape Meares lighthouse which was pretty cool!!! |
 |
| Nearby was an tree called Octopus Tree. It has 8 different limbs coming out of it and was huge. |
 |
| Next up was Tillamook. It was so BUSY that day it was insane. We took a quick tour then left. |
 |
| But not before getting a sneak peek of our lives in a year when Lizzie gets her learners permit. |
 |
| Later that day back to exploring the gorgeous beach. |
 |
| Another gorgeous sunset to end our 3rd day here |
Day 4
7-8-18
 |
| We headed into Lincoln City and attended sacrament. This is our group picture once we got back. A nice biker dude took it for us. |
 |
| The rest of the day was spent playing on the beach. Such a great way to spend a day. |
 |
| Afton buried Lilly in the sand |
 |
| Jim helped Lilly become a sand mermaid |
 |
| Then Jim totally buried Afton |
 |
| As evening started creeping up on us, the girls changed out of their swimsuits and we went walking along the beach. Day 5 7-9-18 
Our day started out visiting the Oregon Coast Aquarium.
It was pretty cool.

Which included Liz making a sand kitty :)

After the tour we went back along the shops and bought some taffy, carmel corn and a few last souvenirs.
 Flying kites on the beach was pretty amazing.

Before heading to the airport we took a few last pictures at this amazing beach.
