Family Vacation!

We took a small family vacation to Oceanside Oregon. It was such a beautiful small town 9 miles west of Tillamook and 2 miles north of Netarts. We stayed in one of the two original homes there in Oceanside. The house was so interesting, it had a lot of the original owners family history. We visited Cape Meres state park and lighthouse, the Tillamook Cheese factory (no pictures yet), the beach, a cave, and took the kids swimming at the Ashley Inn in Tillamook.  The house we stayed at was fully equipped with everything we needed (house wide). Kurt's parents went with us and we all had a blast! We cooked a wonderful Easter dinner and just enjoyed the time we had together! The girls thought it was so cool to be on the beach. Sommer would say "the waters coming" every time the tide would come in. Sheriff became a small town celebrity there in Oceanside, as it only took one walk through town and everyone knew his name. Just about everyone we walked by either wanted to pet him or introduce their dog to him. All in all Sheriff was a pretty good dog this trip. It was the perfect little get away with the family.

View of the cave going in.

The beach on the other side of the cave at low tide. We had to be carful of when we went through the cave because at high tide the cave sometimes can get filled up.

This is one of the views from Cape Meres state park. It was such a beautiful day!

Another view from Cape Meres.

This is the Octopus tree at the Cape Meres state park.

Cape Meres Light house.  It was so warm it was kind of miserable in the lighthouse because the flies were so bad. The light house stairs were closed so we couldn't walk up to the top.

This was on the way to Oregon, Stone Henge. Just outside of Goldendale. It had beautiful views too!!!

  1. What a fun vacation! I've always wanted to do something like that as a family with our kids, it's just it costs a little more for five. It looks like you had a great time though. Sommer is so cute about the tide.
