Awhile back I was reading the AAA magazine and it had an article on whale watching in Florence.
It got me all excited and wanting to plan a trip in our camper out there. Next thing I new I had it all planned out and couldn't wait to go. Then we got that wonderful opportunity to move into another home and things got super busy and crazy really fast. I wasn't sure if we would make it on this trip or not. We shortened it by a day but still headed out and had a good time. It was a nice break from all the house stuff.

| First on our list was a giant dune buggy ride! |
 |
| All buckled in and ready to go boys! |
 |
| It was perfect weather for a nice ride on the Oregon dunes. |
 |
| Found our camp spot. |
 |
| What a mucky muddy mess. I didn't enjoy our campsite much but the boys sure loved running all around in the bushes and such. | |

| Walking down the North Jetty |
 |
| The boys and me! |
 |
| All my boys minus Moe dog |
 |
| King of hill |
 |
| Phew, he made it up! |
 |
| Loving the beach! |
 |
| Neat wood forts made from drift wood everywhere. |
 |
| More of the forts. |
 |
| Jacob was collecting every shell he could find whether it was a broken tiny piece or not. |

 |
| Sea Lion Cave! This was pretty cool! It was tricky with pictures since no flash is allowed, but I thought this actually turned out pretty good. |
 |
| There was between 150 - 200 Sea Lions in there that day. It was pretty neat watching and listening to them. You could see them all over swimming in the ocean as well. |
 |
| Far on that little cliff over there you can see the Heceta lighthouse. |
 |
| Headed home and all tuckered out! |
|

It was short and sweet and of course Jacob did not want to go home. We had a good time and got to use the camper again!
