Rockaway Beach, Short Beach, Lighthouse, Oceanside, and Tunnel Beach

The Harston clan decided to head to the Oregon Cost for a few days.  Darren stayed home and worked, got a few bike rides in and put together the top of the truck.    

We loved low tide at Netarts Beach.  Some shovels made all the difference to finding all kinds of critters under the rocks.  

We drove to Short Beach which was lovely and had a waterfall fresh spring coming down into it.  

 

We also stopped at a lighthouse.  The clouds made everything magical.  

We really enjoyed Oceanside Beach.  It wasn't too crowded.  The water was cold but the kids still got in.  I sat and read a book and enjoyed some R and R. We took a short walk over to Tunnel Beach through ... the tunnel!  But Rockaway Beach was probably our favorite.  It was lots less busy.  

We left Portland just in time to head back to SLC and their 100 degree days.
