Talkin’ About Vacation

One of the highlights of my summer was our family vacation.

  We planned, we saved, we packed, and we headed to the beach.beach3It was an extra special vacation because all 3 of our girls were able to be there.  Our oldest daughter lives in a far away place and my hubby and I were thrilled to have her along for our beach trip.  I think the sisters loved being together.

My sister and her girls vacationed with us as well. 
It was so much fun to watch my nieces enjoy the beach.

We would wake up in the morning and enjoy a cup of coffee (or cocoa).

And we would watch the waves from the window.

We jumped the waves.

We put our toes in the sand.

Ah!! I love the Oregon coast... did you know I used to work in Oregon? Spent a few days in Cannon Beach, but not enough. Fell in love with Eugene and Bend though.... along with Ashland, Grants Pass and even Medford (yeah for Harry & David!)

Beautiful memories - great pictures. Ahhh, JOY. Isn't God good?

Absolutely beautiful pictures. Oh I miss our beach vacation. Sand between your toes is the best. I am following along.

There's nothin' like kids and a beach. So much fun. Makes it worth the sand in your car for a month. ;)

Looks like it was a great vacation. We had a nice family vacation on the beach several years ago, and I would so love to do it again. Maybe someday...

Thanks for sharing your photos.
