Oregon Coast 2015: getting there

We got a late start to our day--on purpose, on Monday the 22nd. We were excited to get going, but Jeff had some work to finish up and Sydney had speech. We didn't leave until 10:30. 

We stopped in Evanston to drop off the Toby boy and to have lunch. Aunt Becky had left these birthday books and some $$ to spend in Oregon with Grandpa for Seth. Grandpa gave Seth money too and so did Grandma and Grandpa--so he was pretty sure he was loaded before we left!

Lots of movies and games and snacks... 

This was about half way through our first day--Jeff and I got a little loopy!

Stinky Motel 6 :)

None of these scenery pictures show how cool the scenery was! it was a pretty drive for sure!

This was our first stop in Oregon, lunch. Kris mentioned just before this that it's against the law to pump your own gas in Oregon. Jeff really doesn't care for that law. Haha.

We dipped into California for maybe an hour.

The trees on this drive were huge! These pictures just don't show it!! My entire family couldn't have fit around this tree--it was so big!

THE OCEAN!

When we saw Aunt Kris's bridge we knew we were close!!
