Relaxation at the Beach

     So this past week my family and I had the chance to go to the beach for three days. It was relaxing, fun, and way too short. Usually we go to the beach for a whole week, but this summer we were pretty much busy with other activities.
    The normal routine for the Browns beach trip is first we stop in a small town called Tilamook, this is the place were you get freshly made Tilamook ice cream and their famous Squeaky Cheese (it actually does squeak when you chew it). Then we head down to Lincoln City to stay at a house that is close to the beach (about two houses behind seeing the beach). While we are there we usually take a walk down to the beach and just play in the sand and the water. Then we head back to the house clean up and of course do some shopping at the outlets or the little shops on main street. In the mornings we wake up around 6 or 7 and walk  down to the beach during low tide. This is when you look for unbroken sea shells and tide pools that have starfish, hermit crabs, crabs, fish, oysters, barnacles, sea anemones, and more shells. (if you did not know).
     Here are a few pictures of the beach.

     I enjoyed the beach and wish I could stay longer, It would have been more time for me to relax with the family. : )
