We went on our first REAL family vacation this year.  We had an absolutely wonderful time!!  These are just a couple of the 100+ pictures I took.  This was the first time our girls had seen the ocean.  They were amazed!  If we would've let them, they would've brought home a couple hundred sand dollars.  On our way down from eastern Washington, we stopped at John Day Dam, The Bonneville Fish Hatchery, Multnomah Falls & got a beautiful view of Mt. Hood.  We saw the Aquarium at Seaside, Haystack Rock at Cannon Beach, the big bridge at Astoria and other little stops. My husband is a big fan of Axmen, so we stopped at Vernonia so he could see the town & get a glimpse of some of the trucks & shops of some of the loggers on the show.   What great memories we will have.  Can't wait for the next trip!!
