Every year since Doug and I were married we have celebrated our November birthdays by traveling to some where on the Coast, i.e. Long Beach/Ocean Park, Washington, Seaside, Oregon and this past week, Cannon Beach.
Last year I was 7 months pregnant with our little boy, and we spent much of the time inside, keeping warm, and relaxing. This year we had such a fun time bringing Josiah (10 mo.) with us for his first official trip to the ocean!
The weather was gorgeous with bright blue, kite filled skies. We went during the middle of the week, so there were a minimum amount of tourists which was really nice. And, we stayed in a cozy little beach cottage and spent much of our days outside walking, playing and enjoying the sun. Josiah seemed to really like the wind against his face, and especially loved the sand. For a few moments we took off his shoes and let him place his feet and toes in it and he let out a few giggles. He liked the sand so much that he wanted to crawl around in it.The joy of a child experiencing something new is delightful!
Most of our evenings were spent inside, keeping toasty warm by the beautiful fire. On our final evening, we spent some time outside star gazing, enjoying some of the breathtaking sights of the captivating night sky our God created.
It's amazing to think that the next time we visit the coast, Josiah will be walking and running all on his own.We are already looking forward to our next trip and the family memories that will be created. So thankful for our little family.
