Vacation

A few weeks ago, we took a family vacation to visit my in-laws on the Oregon Coast. We stayed at The Palace Inn for several days. We enjoyed a nice 1-bedroom suite with a separate kitchen, bedroom, and fireplace. We were 1/4 mile from the beach in one direction, and 1/4 mile from a nice outlet mall in the other direction. We highly recommend this hotel if you are visiting Lincoln City! We loved it!

Here are JG's parents:

One of SIG's new toys is this shape sorter. He caught on quickly!

The weather was typical Oregon coast weather...rainy and windy...for most of the time, and it was rather cold. Here is a picture of how we bundled up SIG when we went outside:

We decided we wouldn't let the weather keep us indoors, so we went outside whenever the sun came out. One day we headed to the beach for some fun in the sand. Here is SIG with his Sittee (grandma in Lebanese). Notice the winter hat underneath his hood...that's how cold it was! :)

Here are a couple of family pictures on the beach:

Here is SIG with his Sittee and Jidu, with the gorgeous coastline in the background:

The sun came out one day, and we headed south to Depoe Bay for a walk along the coast, and some souvenier shopping. See the purple spinning flower in the pot next to the bench? We brought one of those home and added it to our garden pots on the patio.

And, here is a family picture - the only one missing is our brother-in-law, JS.

*Apologies to all the family and friends we weren't able to see this time around. We miss you and love you all dearly!
I'll be coming up with SIG for a visit with my family in November.
