Oregon

I know it has been a while, but as you know, things have been CrAzY. So I will now try to do some updating . . . We made our decision to move to Arizona and really do this, we dropped out of our classes and decided to take our well needed vacation before our crazy move. We packed for Oregon and Hawaii, a 2 week vacation, in about 30 minutes and began driving to Oregon. We had to go to Oregon because I have never been and it is a favorite vacation spot for the VanCotts. It is Beautiful there! I have a lot of great pictures to post, I will try to narrow them down.

We stopped in Idaho to sleep for the night. The next morning I was wanting to wash my hair so Joseph nicely went to the front desk to get some mini shampoo and conditioners . . . this is what the nice lady at the front desk gave him :)
Pantene Pro-V, pretty Classy
I loved this waterfall
Huge Octopus at the museum
When the tide goes down you can walk out on the rocks and they are covered in starfish, crabs, anemone, all kinds of things.
We pretty much sat on the beach every night to watch the sunset
There are beautiful Lighthouses everywhere
It was such a fun crazy trip because we never knew where we would be sleeping the next night, or what we would go do, we just kind of did whatever. We decided we wanted to camp one night so we brought all of our gear and camped on the night when of course there was a storm. Everything was soaked! We were up all night and that is when Joseph's tooth started to give him trouble.
You can't see enough beautiful views, its amazing.
Oh and of course I have to end with this. It was the night before we left to Hawaii and we knew our loaf of bread we packed and ate many pbjs with was going to go bad, so Joseph wanted to try something. We went and parked on the beach, ripped up pieces of bread and he threw them near our car and on our car. We had birds attacking us forever and one almost got Joseph's finger. This was my favorite picture!
We loved it and hope to go back again. I will post Hawaii's pictures soon. We love and miss you all!
