Oregon Coast Weekend...

Thank goodness for Presidents!!! :)
We enjoyed our long weekend at the coast... Oceanside to be exact. Weather was typical OR coastal weather, cool, damp and grey... but beautiful anyway!
Our crew consisted of: Peter and myself, Sherrie & Loren, Christie, Daniel & Laura (Veldkamp) and Amy & Chantry (Filener)

Peter captured our 10 minutes of sunshine! Isn't it beautiful?! This is directly in front (ok, actually kind of SW-ish) of the house we stayed in...After our morning coffee run! See, we're official bloggers, even our sweatshirts say so! :)
Serious game of Pente going on here!
L-R: Loren, Sherrie & ChristieDaniella and Laura :)
Spiral staircase to upstairs... Kinda neat for this place, but I don't think I'd ever want one! It was a bit wobbly and not very easy to carry luggage up and down. (or maybe it was the operator that was wobbly? Naw...)
At the Tillamook Cheese Factory... and of course we couldn't resist the fresh Tillamook ice cream! YUM.
Amy & Chantry - CUTE picture!
Looking NW from the house. The picture that you see is taken when the tide is about midway. If you look closely (click on the picture), there is an opening at the bottom of the rock, (look towards the side of the cliff that the houses are on). This is a small tunnel that you can walk through to the other side when the tide is low - wouldn't suggest it though when the tide is high! Here's Peter inside the tunnel! (sorry for the bluriness...), but you get the idea. :)
Love of my life...
And finally, one of our humble abode, looking up at it from the beach.
Thanks Sherrie and Loren for including us!

Tillamook cheese and ice cream- YUMMY! That is where my dad was born so that was a staple in our house. And you had a fellow Californian up there with you, from SLO! Looks like you had a blast!

How fun! Makes me homesick for the Oregon coast!

That's the way I like to camp...in style (not in a tent!!)

Is Daniel Veldkamp a grandson of Bert & Frieda (L.A. county) ??
