The Rockaway Beach Weekend

This was such a fun weekend. We rented a little beach house at Rockaway Beach, Oregon. It was furnished with everything - all we needed to do is bring our food. There were just enough bedrooms for each of us - even Davis had his little bedroom. They supplied toys, dvd's, firewood for the fireplace, towels for the beach and beach toys too, towels for the shower and even lots of games and books to read. What more could you ask for? ( some sun). We did have a few splashes of sun and lots of wind and tons of sand. Dad and I drove to Mindy's on Thursday night and spent the night at the Best Western Hotel in Sandy. We got up early Friday and drove to the beach via Tillamook Oregon. We moved in and loaded the fridge with food stuff. The little house is just across the street from the beach so it was really close for walking. This beach is not one that is crowded too much like Cannon or Seaside and that was really nice. We took a walk into the town area where there are small gift shops and stores. There is also a steam train that does 1 1/2 hour run twice a day. We didn't do the train ride because it was just not warm enough to ride in open air cars. Friday night we settled in and watched the opening olympic ceremonies. Both days we spent a lot of time on the beach, flying the kite, playing with sand toys & looking for shells. This was something I have always wanted to do and finally did - thanks Mindy and Evan for coming with us. Here's their link: http://www.oregon101.com/pacificescape.html
