Summer Camping 2004
 On day 17 we went straight over to the Oregon coast to the town of Tillamook. They are of course famous for the cheese they make. This is the Tillamook cheese factory, which is impressive (and touristy). 7/19/2004 9:36:00 PM mm 1/40 f/3.5 |
 Next we went to the Oregon Coast Aquarium in Newport. The girls had a blast. Kelly and Kate took notes in their journals (sort of). It was a great stop for the girls. 7/11/2004 3:21:14 PM mm 1/119.5 f/2.5 |
 They liked standing in the jaws of an ancient shark. 7/19/2004 9:50:12 PM mm 1/119.5 f/2.5 |
 Then Mom got ice cream for Jessica... 7/11/2004 4:43:40 PM mm 1/86.2 f/3.5 |
 Kate... 7/11/2004 4:43:50 PM mm 1/99 f/3.5 |
 and Kelly. I think they all enjoyed it. 7/11/2004 4:44:08 PM mm 1/402.9 f/7.0 |
 That evening we finally made it to Honeyman State Park. Our campsite was beautiful and the park was spectacular. It's a huge campground with beautiful sites. There are 2 fresh water lakes in the park and there are huge sand dunes throughout the park. The ocean is just on the other side of the dunes (and the dunes were accessible from a private trail at the back of our site). There was also a great playground just across from our campsite. We hope to make it back there next year. 7/19/2004 9:38:30 PM mm 1/45 f/2.8 |
 The next day we walked to the dunes. This is the first one we found, with the lake right at its base. That's Patty in the foreground, then Kelly, then Kate, then Jessica lying down and James off in the distance. Everyone had a blast walking up and running down the dunes. When they got hot, they could just jump in the water. 7/12/2004 10:44:32 AM mm 1/337.3 f/7.0 |
 We hadn't brought swimsuits, but that didn't stop the water play. 7/12/2004 10:49:00 AM mm 1/219.9 f/7.7 |
 Our girls couldn't be happier than when they're at a location where sand and water meet. 7/12/2004 11:23:32 AM mm 1/185.1 f/8.9 |
