In case you haven't seen this picture yet, I just had to post it. I wish I knew who the artist was! I love it!

Oregon
Last month we had an open week where I hadn't started school yet and Mikey had some time open before starting his new, awesome job at Attask. We've said before that "We'll be spontaneous when we have time," (Captain Ron), and we actually had time! So we were a little impulsive, but we bought one-way tickets to Portland, Oregon and rented a beautiful convertible to drive down the Coast and then home. So the night before we flew out, Mikey booked some lodging for us and we were on our way!
It was so gorgeous. Neither of us had ever been to Oregon and it was so fun to explore, get "good eats" recommendations from the locals, and just relax. It was such a blast.
This little crab shack had the BEST seafood. The food was so fresh that it was actually caught that morning! It was so good we ate here 3 times.
Everyday we were in Oregon was cloudy--gorgeous, but cloudy. Except the sun decided to visit us on our last day. We spent the whole day playing on the beach. The water was still too cold to play in, but we bought ourselves a stunt kite (I didn't even know they existed) and played ALL day. It was so cool to do loop-de-loops with a kite. Crazy!
A Peterson tradition--funny face pictures. (Notice the light house in the background!)
Mikey with a sting ray swimming behind him at the Newport Aquarium.
Haystack Rock in Cannon Beach.
Mikey demonstrating the ease of putting the top down. Very slick.
We had such a fun time. The best was just being together the whole time. This trip might just have to become a family tradition.
