Off to the Coast!

Not to brag, but I've been to more gorgeous beaches in Asia and Mexico than I can count.  

The temperature is warm, the sand is milky white, and the aquamarine water is transparent.

Although the beaches on the Oregon coast are none of those things, it holds a special place in my heart.   

 The sand is brown, the water is mucky and it's usually freezing...

 But it's wonderful.

I visited the coast every spring break with my parents growing up, and have taken numerous trips there with Ryan and our friends.

The two of us are off to Newport this weekend for our first vacation together since March.  
(Hey, that's a long time for us!)

We're looking forward to....
-sunshine in the forecast!
-the drive on this scenic highway

-crabbing from our cozy resort on the bay
-sleeping in

-lunch or dinner here
-visiting the (potentially haunted) lighthouse from the photo above

-walks on the beach
-window shopping in town 

Hope you have a fabulous weekend!
