Oregon Beach Vacation

We had a wonderful vacation on the Oregon Coast in Waldport about 20 miles south of Newport. We had a lovely house right on the beach. Plenty of water for NB and sand for Colin.



Colin went into the water on our first day and kept falling in the waves. He didn't like the motion of the water one way and the sand the other. Here is the only picture of him near the water!



Here is Colin happy as a clam playing in the sand!



He loved running up and down the sand dunes! I got my workout chasing him.



NB on the other hand is a Surfer Girl!! She couldn't get enough and literally could stay out there all day. Me, I have a low tolerance of the cold northwest water.





We made a visit to the Oregon Coast Aquarium. It is a great place and I would highly recommend it!



I did manage some good knitting time! I started the Monkey Socks from Knitty. They are a wonderful knit and I have to say I am really enjoying knitting them.



Smooshy yarn is very nice for this pattern.



A colorful sunset!
