beached-yachats day 3

we really couldn't have asked for a better
last day of our big coast trip. we spent
a few hours basking in the sun at the almost deserted
stonefield beach,
jackie threw sand, gathered rocks and chased the birds while we
worked on our tans. so much fun.

just beachy-yachats day 2

day two of our yachats trip brought more
amazingly sunny summer weather and a trip
to the beach for more tidepool lounging and
jackie's first beach time out. (there's a first time for everything?!)

summer kick off 2011-yachats!

we cannot thank the schmids enough for letting
us have the run of their gorgeous yachats beach house for the
weekend. we completely lucked out and had blue skies,
sun and warm weather the entire trip-
completely unheard of on the oregon coast
and the perfect way to kick off summer 2011.
we spent day one hanging out at the tidepools and enjoying an awesome sunset.

not a bad view!

i think i could get used to this...
