My boss took a week off during the summer so I decided that it would be fun for me, Annie, Stacy and her husband Jason to go on vacation. Ever since my first trip to the Coast, I fell in love with it and thought that should be where we should go.We started out thinking that we wanted to go camping, keep the costs low, but after doing some research, decided on getting a beach house. We planned out the meals for the week and brought food along to do some cooking.We got up early and made the long drive in pretty good time.

We decided that before we headed to our beach house, that we would stop in Portland to check out the Japanese Gardens. Afterward we went to Mike and Sarah's new place for dinner and a game, then off to the beach house in Lincoln City!
The biggest Zen garden I've ever seen.

Don't mind how tired we look, we woke up early, and were in the car for a long time.
Even though I hate spiders, I had to get a picture of this web. It was crazy cause it was spread out between these two trees that were quite a ways apart.
