We took Chelsea to a place called Panorama Point which is in Hood River, right around the corner from Gordon's parents place. It was a really windy day but we were able to get some great photos of all the fruit trees and vineyards.
On Wednesday, we set out for Oceanside, OR which is a 2 1/2 hour drive from Hood River. Chelsea kept Brooke entertained by popping in the DVD's. Brooke chose Hairspray to watch on the way there. They are both GLUED.
We made it to the coast! We had to wait an hour to get into our beach rental so we played on the beach. This was Chelsea's first time to the ocean. She was really happy.
The kissing turtles.
Can you tell how windy it was by our hair?
On Thursday, we had really warm weather so we actually went into the water to play in the waves. It was still really cold, but we all were brave! And, after about 10 minutes of pain, the feeling went away and your limbs just felt numb.
She loves the water!
We had to keep a close eye on Brooke because she would constantly be running towards the water and the waves that were coming right for her. After a while she'd get so far and then turn around and run the other way so she wouldn't get 'hit' by a wave.
Gordon tried skim boarding and really started getting the hang of it.
Just playing in the sand and water.
A view at sunset from the balcony at the beach house.
More to come on our trip to the coast! We just got back and have lots of laundry to do but we'll post more later!

I love the picture of Brooke running on the beach!!! So cute! You can even see her little footprint! :)
Oh, YEAH, that was a GORGEOUS sunset! I like Gordon going after the skim board.
