For our family vacation this summer we decided to be adventurous and take a long road trip. Our goal was to reach Utah, where we would spend a long 4th of July weekend with Mark's sister and her family. We made stops along the way and grew quite accustomed to life on the road. The kids were GREAT & I had no pregnancy symptoms! Mark was the perfect navigator - it was as if he knew all about road safety! ;-)
On the road and heading southwest...
On our first day, we arrived at Cannon Beach. We heard so much about this place that we decided to make a detour in our route just to visit it. It was very relaxing and I would say worth the extra couple of hours in the car. Now we can say that we have been there and done that!
My darling Grace
Walk with me daddy
The kiddos LOVED the miles and miles of sand!
Be brave guys!!
Hanging out by the Sea Stacks
All tuckered out from playing.
On day two we stopped off at the Multnomah falls on our way to Boise.
Turned out to be a nice little surprise! So beautiful!!

We take our golf very seriously! Actually, it should be noted that Mark and I had placed a bet on our game and I won by 1 stroke! All skill baby! :-)
Back home but still vacationing... A beautiful hike to the Ice Caves on a beautiful day.
Hiking is tough stuff!
A day at Cama Beach...
We stumbled upon a cool fort.

You have my heart.
Too cool for Cama beach!
We are looking forward to more summer adventures!!!
