Manzanita

Our little family left town on Sunday and headed west to the Oregon coast. Since we knew that Andrin would not be happy in the car for four hours, we decided to stop in Newport and visit the Oregon Coast Aquarium. It was a lot of fun! Andrin loved to see all the animals and he seems to have Mami's genes because he especially liked the seals!
Late afternoon on Sunday, we arrived in Manzanita and were pleasently surprised by our cabin. It was beautiful and relaxing. Manzanita was different than in the summertime because there were hardly any tourists there. We had some really good food, also some good quiet times in coffee shops and a wonderful time at the beach. Andrin loved the sand and really went digging for it.
I spent my birthday with my most loved and cherished people in my life and it was so good to be away for a little bit!

Did you see all the sand on his face?
