Beach Trip Part 6: Beaches, Finally

Fine, we won't do fireworks. GOSH

Hello old friend. I wore the chicken boots just for you.

Mr. Photog

We dropped the girls back at the house, then went off for more beach time. We drove through Nehalem Bay State Park and met a very kind police officer who told us not to bother paying the day use fee - not worth it. Thanks, Officer! 

We drove to the Short Sand Beach trailhead on Highway 101 then and enjoyed an easy and beautiful hike to the beach. 

The gorgeousness!! 

Looking south

Looking north. Love that heavy mist.

Dipping my toes in Short Sand Creek

Back in the ocean, feeling totally blissed out, when the wave landed...

Wet my pants. Time to hike back. We took a different trail back to the highway.

The thing with highways is they all look the same underneath.

We mightily enjoyed this excursion. Then we took giant naps.
