Oregon - Day One

This was the view behind our campsite at Collier State Park.  We got up early and ate breakfast.  Then we packed up the camper as quickly as we could, so we would have time to enjoy this amazing scenery.  The water in the river was crystal clear, and the landscape was beautiful.

There was a fun logging museum just a short walk away from the campground.  Since we were all packed up, we took the short hike across the river to check it out.  It was actually a gorgeous walk, and the museum was pretty interesting, too...  unless you ask Tatum.  She thought it was one of the most boring parts of the trip.

The girls had fun goofing around, though.  They actually enjoyed themselves quite a bit, and there was a cute gift shop at the end of the trail.  They had quite a collection of antique chainsaws, which Justin found pretty interesting.

After we kept Tatum there as long as she would allow, we headed back to camp.  We hitched up the camper and headed to Grandma Kathye's house in Newport, Oregon a day early.

We made it to Newport just in time to enjoy a walk on the beach before dinner.  Grandma made us an awesome dinner, and we settled in and watched a few hours of American Pickers before heading off to bed.  Not a bad way to end a day.
