(Did I say messy?)<\/p>\n<p>The second day, we spent a bunch of time playing at the beach\u2014playing in the sand, running in the waves, watching the birds (and the other people) and, of course, taking pictures.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Kids Waiting for the Waves at the Oregon Coast by prayingmother, on Flickr\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/prayingmother\/10503136093\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter\" alt=\"Kids Waiting for the Waves at the Oregon Coast\" src=\"http:\/\/farm8.staticflickr.com\/7452\/10503136093_2a3f4764d8.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a title=\"My honey and I walking the Oregon Coast by prayingmother, on Flickr\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/prayingmother\/10502895744\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter\" alt=\"My honey and I walking the Oregon Coast\" src=\"http:\/\/farm4.staticflickr.com\/3699\/10502895744_f7d3a2abaa.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Most Photographed Lighthouse on the Oregon Coast by prayingmother, on Flickr\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/prayingmother\/10503116193\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter\" alt=\"Most Photographed Lighthouse on the Oregon Coast\" src=\"http:\/\/farm6.staticflickr.com\/5473\/10503116193_26e3f4231b.jpg\" width=\"333\" height=\"500\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>We visited the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sealioncaves.com\" target=\"_blank\">Sea Lion Caves<\/a>. That&#8217;s where the above picture was taken. I&#8217;m sad to say that we were a bit disappointed in them. I was bummed, because I had visited them as a child, and had such strong memories of the place, but it turned out to be smaller than when I was kid and not as interesting either.<\/p>\n<p>After that, we spent the rest of the day, driving, driving and driving some more.<\/p>\n<p>We ran into a snag that night. I had packed with the intention that, we would do laundry twice during the trip. That night was supposed to be my first chance, but the wash machine didn&#8217;t work at our hotel. Oh, no. Well, a little planning, and I thought we&#8217;d make it okay through our next few days of camping, as long as the toddler didn&#8217;t have any accidents and \u00a0nobody fell into anymore water. (Everybody under the age of 20 had to have a complete change after playing at the beach.) But that was only the beginning of our laundry woes.<\/p>\n<p>Forget the laundry woes, the trip kept getting better from there.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>To get in the mood for school this year, we took the first week of September and did some amazing sight seeing.
