Seaside

So back in April, when it started to warm up and the end of Chris' first year was in sight, we made a list of everything we wanted to do in Oregon and surrounding areas.
The list originally had 25 things on it but it has grown a little since then.
Since coming back to Oregon, we have been working on crossing things off our list.

Our first choice off the list was the beach.
We live about an hour from the coast and the drive out there is filled with trees and is gorgeous!

We decided to go to Seaside since we had never been there before and have heard good things about it.

When we first pulled into town, it was super foggy and we thought our day was ruined but luckily the fog left after not too long so we were able to enjoy the beach.

We stayed in our hoodies for a while because the wind made it pretty chilly.

The water is so cold it hurts to be in it until your legs and feet go numb.
Chris got really brave (or crazy?) and took his hoodie off and got in all the way up to his neck.
Then we did what all beach-goers do, laid out on our towels and warmed up!
It was by far the warmest day we've ever had at the beach and we loved it.
After we got bored at the beach, we walked around the cute town of Seaside and visited a lot of little shops with lots of random stuff.

This store had 170 different flavors of salt water taffy.

It was crazy!

We loved Seaside and will definitely be going back!
