Day 230

December 7

Today we went to Bandon and looked for a couple more letterboxes and did some shopping in the Old Town there. Another overcast but nice day!

Day 229

December 6

Today was overcast, but didn't rain. We had a great time looking up a few letterboxes, then just before dusk we went up to Shore Acres to see their gorgeous display of Christmas lights.

Day 228

December 5

We're at the coast in a yurt at one of our favorite spots - Sunset Bay State Park. It's raining tonight, but should stop before morning.

Day 182

Another beautiful day on the Oregon Coast.  Today we went to a shop that said on the outside that it had kites. Charlie likes kites. We ended up buying a new purse for me, as well as one for each girl for Christmas. They're hand made out of old jeans and so cute.

We also stopped by Face Rock Creamery and sampled some of their cheese.

Then we headed down 101 instead of going home the normal way.  That way, I could look for several more letterboxes on our way. We stopped at Cape Blanco Lighthouse to look for one that was no longer there.  It was beautiful but really windy!

Another stop in Brookings for a letterbox at a cemetery. We bypassed a couple in between because it was rainy in a few places.

Another couple boxes were attempted but not found. But I was first finder on a box that had been planned nearly two years ago on a lovely little botanical wayside!

Day 181

A beautiful Sabbath birthday at the coast. We went for a walk by the Coquille River Lighthouse, then went down to the beach near Devil's Kitchen State Park. Then over to the fish hatchery where we fed some fish and laughed at the little ones trying to swim "upstream" where the water jets were pouring into the growing pond.

Oh, and did I mention, there were letterboxes at all those places?  :D

Day 180

Heading to the coast. I'm ready to do some letterboxing!

Day 97

I really want a trip to the coast. But I don't have the time or money to do that right now. So I'm settling for rereading this little booklet my Mom brought home for me on one of her trips over. Looking for agates on the beach is my absolute favorite thing to do there. It's so relaxing.

Day 1, take 2014... Now that we're homeschooling again...

I was talking to a friend about this project this afternoon, and decided to try again. Maybe I'll actually make it to 365 days this time.
Today's photo was taken on the last day of our vacation to Sunset Bay State Park on the Oregon Coast. What a fun week!
