Starfish

We literally slept in until 9:30 then laid around for another two hours. 

And it was heavenly.

Hike to Cascade Head Trail through rainforest then a mountain meadow.

(I wondered why "mountain meadow" had such a familiar ring to it when I used the expression last blog, but just now I realized where it's from. So... yea, history. #iykyk)

Luckily we packed snacks in the car because we needed to get to Yaquina Lighthouse again for low tide to see the tide pools. I was excited,  but I didn't realize Dan was REALLY excited.

He'd never seen any before and was super hoping to see a starfish.

Seals.

Dinner by the beach and sadly we didn't get a picture, but imagine eating seafood on your last evening of vacation on a grassy hill overlooking deep blue water, families in sweatshirts playing in the sand, flying kites, children running from waves and couples walking hand in hand along the beach. 

All while 90 mph winds blow your mac 'n cheese sauce off your fork and onto your leg 

every time you try to take a bite.

But we finished with a quick trip down this amazing slide in the park across the street.

Yay for whoever built this for the kids!
