Our Vacation Day One

Our first day of vacation began at 3:30am when we woke up and left town to head to Bandon, OR. Bandon is 11 hours away from Moscow and because I am still very pregnant and get uncomfortable easy we had to stop frequently at rest stops to walk around so it took a little longer than we thought it would.

After we got situated in our room we went down to walk on the beach which is just across the street and down a big set of stairs.
We chased what we thought were baby turtles for a while in the water. They swam like turtles and even seemed to have flippers, but they always buried in the sand before we could catch one. Finally we caught one and decided that it wasn't really a turtle but more of a turtle-crab. It swims like a turtle but is more of a crustacian than a reptile.

We played with some starfish.This one we call Stubs.
We saw A LOT of jellyfish. The brown ones like this are the poisonous kind and have long frilly tentacles.These purple jellyfish were HUGE.And some of the jellyfish were small and clear.

There were some seals on some rocks.

Here is a big rock that I thought it would be fun to climb on. You can call me Queen of the Mountain.
We had so much fun today that we decided to buy this very cozy beach house.

We were just wondering why we weren't invited. I thought there was this unwritten rule that every time one of us goes to the coast the other gets to go too...anyhow, looks wonderful and sooooooo fun. we miss you guys!
