Let's Go to the Coast



So we packed up the van and headed out. First stop was for lunch in Monmouth at the Burgerville because we had a gift coupon from Carl. Excellent food! We had turkey sandwiches and sweet potato fries. We wondered if Carl had gone there often when he was going to school in Monmouth.

We did some Christmas shopping at the mall and then stopped at Boiler Bay. The waves were crashing. There weren't many tourists this time of year. We spent the night at Beverly and then walked on the beach the next morning. It was a nice break.

I like going to the coast this time of year because you almost have the beach to yourself. Burgerville is really good and, I like the pictures.

Ditto that! My favorite (coastal) visit ever was a Thanksgiving dinner with friends in Eugene, buying a good raincoat, and spending hours walking the coast.

P.S., s-l-a-m definitely not intended, of all the WONDERFUL family visits to the coast. :)

[Same could be spoken of your comment as well, I'm sure. :)]

The coast is definitely more fun with kids along.
