So<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The kids have been wanting to get out of the house a bit more, and we don’t mind going for drives. We planned a weekend at the coast. The first stop was the Oregon Coast Aquarium.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m always surprised when I return because in my mind I always imagine it being much bigger and grander than I see when I visit. Still worth a stop, but don’t expect anything huge in land size.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next stop?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Beach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Seeing as how it was Ezra’s first time at the beach, we even took him to dip his little feet in the water. It was cold but he didn’t mind it so much.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We left with a pretty cool shot of the car around sunset with those gull-wing doors (or as Tesla calls them: falcon wing doors).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What else?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

RAIN!!? In July?! Sign me up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We were lucky to have a storm strong enough to break through the heat. It dropped temps down and we enjoyed the change. I wish we got more rain in the summer anyway, but I’ll take what I can get.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ezra also got some glasses (he looks so fancy), and at work, I’ve been finishing up reading a book (for work).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That is about it for July! Stick that knife in it, baby, it’s done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

just Pray.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
