Trip to the coast...

This past 3-day weekend, we experienced some unseasonably sunny weather. It's been the fourth day in a row of sunny weather and counting! We drove 2 hours to the Oregon coast with some friends and Eliana visited the beach for the first time in her life!

While other kids tromped around, Eliana stayed in mommy's arms. Even though Portland was in the 40's, the temperature by the coast was much higher.

As it was the middle of winter, the beach was mostly empty except for the occassional passerby.
We stayed there one night, and drove back home on Sunday.
