A break for Spring...

Brett and Connor on the beach

April is already upon us, can you believe it? Seems like we just celebrated the new year. Time seems to fly by so quickly.


We headed south with the camper down the Oregon coast. What a spectacular place. I don't know why, but their beaches are so much more beautiful (to me) than Washington's. Maybe it's because they have sand and we have rocks... who knows?

As it turned out, the weather, however, was not our friend. Lots of rain, tons of wind and a short bit of hail. One day, just to get out despite the weather, we tried to go for a drive and ended up returning back to camp because we couldn't see anything. It was too foggy and miserable.

We wound up staying inside the camper for two straight days and then wound up returning a day sooner than planned. The trip was worsened when my back started wreaking havoc on me. Due to having to remain inside the camper, it was difficult to get comfortable, which caused a great deal of pain and was another reason for us to return home sooner. I could barely move and was miserable.

On the days we did manage to get out, it was nice and we took it all in whenever we could, so that is why you're able to see some of the shots that were taken while we were out.

I don't want this to sound all negative. All in all, it was WONDERFUL to get this week off to explore and Oregon is the best place we've been to yet for camping. We hope to be heading there again in the summer when the weather will be nicer!
