Today we got out of town and went to the beach. I had hopes of wading, or possibly swimming, but it was grey and cold, so Matt and I went to Ecola State Park for a hike.

Since I was a small child, I've always loved to stop at the "drinking water" along the side of the road on the way to the beach. Sadly, this time I found it not maintained. There used to be a fountain above.
Due to the overcast day, my camera couldn't "find" us and I wasn't able to manually rejigger things so we could be seen.
How do you know you are at the Oregon Coast? All the kids are running around in swimsuits and the adults are in sweaters.
We learned about "clothespin trees" which are trees that grow around the nurse log until the nurse log completely decays, leaving an opening.
It looks like a perfect coast day to me. Hiking, wandering, seeing the bathing-suited kids. I'm always so iffy on the shore outings with beach blankets, umbrellas and baking in your bikini with a million people. And yes, I know this is more reasoning as to why I should move to PDX!
