| Our traditional stop at Deschutes Brewery for lunch in Portland (always in tandem with a visit to Powell's Books). |
 |
| A quick snapshot on the front steps before heading down to the beach for the first time. |
 | ||
| This is always one of my favorite moments at the beach, walking toward the beach stairs (through those two gorgeous trees) for the first time in a year. |

 |
| Hot tub time! |
 |
| Checking to see if it was still raining (on day two). Yup. Still raining. |
 |
| So we went to Mo's for lunch! |
 |
| More hot tubbing that night. |
 |
| That's the view of our beach house from the playground. We loved the house we chose this year. Will definitely rent it again next year. |
 |
| Flying the kite she got for her birthday from Kiri and Mikah. |
 |
| Just overheated, not sunburned. |
 |
| She loved this book (part of a series Michael bought for Xander in Portland). |
 |
| Here she is "reading" it on the walk down to the water. |
 | |
| We also hit the Mo's in Newport. |
 |
| Stopped by this lighthouse to look around. |
 |
| Clare wasn't tall enough to climb the steps to the top. X and I were going to go in together, but decided the wait was too long (and the weather too cold). Maybe next year! |
 |
| Our last morning and our last walk to the ocean. |
 |
| Draw a circle, dig a hole. |
 |
| The walk back just before we headed out. |
 |
| We stopped at the outlet mall for a last bit of shopping (Clare chose this cute hat.) |
 |
| We ate breakfast for lunch at Pig 'N Pancake, which I suspect will become a new vacation tradition. |
 |
| Headed home and already looking forward to next year! |
