We have been back from Seattle for a couple of days. I, for one, am still exhausted. I don't know what it is about this trip, but I can't seem to recover as quickly. Too close to school, maybe.
Anyway, we had a marvelous time. I'm about to share a bunch of pictures. So I hope you're ready to take a visual journey.
We arrived in Seattle and picked up where we left off. Plus, feeding chickens...
Sophia loved the chickens. Any time she has a chance to care for a creature, she's a happy kiddo.
After a couple of days in Seattle, we headed down the road to the Oregon Beach.
It was beautiful. Picturesque. Moving. I highly recommend visiting the Pacific in Oregon.
We spent lots of time at the water. The sand was perfect for building. Mostly free of rocks. Just a few sand fleas.
This was our first sunset from our back porch.
The next day, Erick and I left the beach to head halfway across Oregon to see some of Erick's family. Beautiful countryside. Lots of beautiful streams and mountains.
Erick's uncle Bill lives in Bend, which is high desert. We were surprised to get through all those mountains and streams to arrive in an arrid, hot climate.
It was great to see the family, though. Well worth the day in the car.
We did, however, get a little bit punchy on our drive.
Then we took a night walk on the beach. So peaceful and refreshing.
Then we headed back out for a long walk in the morning. Lots of exploration.
Did I mention picturesque?
Once we passed through those rocks, we were very surprised to find the rocks on the other side covered in star fish and mussels. Pretty cool. Kind of creepy.
Our last evening in Oregon was perfect. We made a fire while the kids played in the sand and ran along the beach. Then we just relaxed. And danced a little.
This was the closest I could get to a smile from Sophia. It's a smile, for sure, but maybe a little nutsy.
Once we were back in Seattle the next day, we did more relaxing. Hanging out. Watching movies. General merriment. We also went to the Seattle Science Center, which happens to be right by the Space Needle. It was a great Science Center. We spent several long and full hours hanging out there.

Anyway, glad to be home. But our trip was magnificent, as always. The northwest is lots of fun. Tons of things to see and do or a great climate for just hanging around. Love it.
Wonderful!
