First day in Pacific City, Oregon




The Oregon Coast!!!  The first thing we saw when we drove up to Pacific City was this beautiful Haystack Rock at Cape Kiwanda.  The third largest monolith in the world!!


To the right of the monolith is a HUGE dune that you can climb up.  Tons of people all day climbed up and down it.  Some running down the dune, others rolling down it and still others sand boarding down it!!  Great fun!  


Here is Auty sitting at the bottom of the dunes...


And here Joss and I are climbing up the dunes.  Believe it or not, it was so much fun climbing the dunes. Not to mention the views on top were breathtaking!!!!


Here is one of the views we saw at the top.


Here is another view of looking out over Cape Kiwanda.


On the other side is a beautiful rock formation with water running through the center of it. The water ran all the way in to a cave making loud crashing sounds.  Loved it!


Exploring....



Never thought we would be able to go in the water..  But the day we arrived the water was actually a warm 65 degrees!!  Unheard of apparently..  Kids just went in the water clothes and all and had a blast!


So much to see and explore!


The Cape at sunset, a walk from our house!  


Feel very lucky to see such a beautiful place!!





A perfect ending to a perfect day!
