As a break from the usual, here are some photos from my family trip last month to The Oregon Coast.

The first one is an iPhone photo that stitches together multiple images to create a panorama.  This is the 180° view from the window in my bedroom. Unfortunately, sized for this blog it’s a bit too small to really appreciate, but it’s still a great view!

The house we stayed in was surrounded by these gorgeous hydrangeas. 

This is the view from the hot tub.  Yep, I said hot tub.  

And the tiger lilies I tried to convince my nephew should really be called leopard lilies.

My family. Left to Right it’s me, my aunt, mom, dad, sister and nephew. 

These little flowers are all over in Oregon, and made me smile every time I saw them.

My sister and her son. (Who turned 6 this week!)

Me and the nephew.

And I leave you with this view, as it’s also my last view of ocean on the drive back to my sister’s house.
