For our second camping trip of the year, we headed to the central Oregon coast and camped at Beachside State Park, which is just south of Newport. The weather was a mix between overcast and part sun, but we did see a sunset one night. The kids had so much fun at the beach -- flying our kite, building sandcastles, jumping in the waves. Mary thoroughly enjoyed herself, and was covered in sand and water much of the time. We visited the Newport Aquarium while we were there and got to see all sorts of cool ocean life, including an incredibly long Anaconda Snake, a crocodile, sharks, seals, and jellyfish. At the end of our trip Ben asked if we could move to the coast so that way we could walk to the beach every day. I told him maybe some day.
