You just never quite know what you're going to get. We were there for a long (Veteran's Day) weekend starting Friday and came home Tuesday. Most days were anywhere from drizzly to downright stormy. But it seems like we almost always luck out with at least ONE nice day--this trip it turned out to the Monday. It started out rainy, but by mid-morning it turned into a beautiful day with lots of sun and just a light breeze. It seemed a shame to miss out on the nice weather, so I drug the kids out of the house and we went on an little adventure walk. We walked from our place up to the beach, headed south down the beach for about a 3/4 of a mile and then climbed through the dunes and came out in the Nehalem Bay State Park (campground). We cut through the campground on a little hiking/biking path and came out the other side of the park. From there we traveled along the street back to our house. We were out for almost two hours and I'm guessing we logged a little over two miles.
The kids picked up a "companion" for each of them along the way. They each adopted a piece of seaweed, named it, and drug it along with them for the rest of the trip.
The seaweed got a little heavy, so they had get creative on how to tote them along!!
But here is where the real work started when they had to drag them up and over the dunes!!
At the end of the paved trail through the campground.
Our trek along the street headed back to the house. We had to stop at every puddle along the way to give our seaweed friends a drink!
Ah!!! Home sweet home!!!!
Looking forward to heading back out for Thanksgiving!!!!! Hopefully we will find another sunny day in there somewhere.

I think the coast is perfect no matter what the weather. Looks like the kids enjoyed the adventure
