Time for an update

Alright, so after 3 weeks or so Josh and I have been MIA... we are back. We took some time to ourselves and did what we needed to do, but we are back to civilization now.

Last weekend we spent Saturday at the Oregon Coast. We headed straight to Seaside to hit up the Nike outlet store like we always do. Then we headed for the Seaside strip with all the little shops that head down to the beach. We only really stopped in a couple stores, one a new store, The Man Store. We bought a couple amusing birthday gifts and headed on our way.

After Seaside we headed into Cannon Beach for lunch at Mo's... of course. Right when we sat down for lunch the winds really picked up and the tide came right up to the rocks outside the restaurant. We were quite amused watching the people playing with their dogs go running around to avoid the waves. Next we went to the stores along the main strip of Cannon Beach hitting up our usual stops, the toy store, and some galleries. Along the way we found a new store, a hat store. A fun hat store! We had a hard time limiting our purchases to just 2 but were able to settle on a couple... I see us buying another one the next time we're down that way.

We also headed to Ecola State Park and found a great surprise when we pulled into the parking lot...

After our surprise guests left (due to stupid girls trying to get too close and chasing them away) we headed out to the various viewpoints and tried to stay upright in the 50+ mile an hour winds. We had to test out the new camera and all the settings... although there are only so many ways to make a gray cloudy day at the coast look.

Before we left we headed down the beach and walked up to Haystack, as close as they would let us get, snapped a few more photos and headed home.

We really wanted to head to the coast to just get away from it all for a day, be with each other, and say a little farewell to our lost little one. We found a spot we'll always remember and had a moment, wrote something, and tossed it into the ocean. I really feel like this has helped me get some closure. All in all it was a great day at the coast, we got away, said goodbye, and got to goof around and act like kids at Cannon playing with fun hats and eating ice cream.

We want to thank all of you for your love and support over the past few weeks as well as your understanding while we basically went into hiding during that time.
