OREGON COAST 2011 - DAY 1 - FRIDAY JUNE 10 SOUTH JETTY to SUNSET BEACH

This is where we started - 8 of us - in the SLC airport.
Katy was on the plane when we boarded.

Everyone packed their own lunches.
Ben was last that first day.

And so it begins.  We're all there.

Peter's hat tells us it was him up there.

Edward.
Same pose - different background - all four days.

Looking north - you can see the end of the jetty.

Jenni and Tommy
He may always feel a little privileged.

Off we go!

We saw a lot of sand and birds that first day.

We started out above the beach - lots of flowers.

Ben - up for the challenge.

Does Tommy look excited?  He never did complain.

Baby came, too.

We had endlessly shifting scenery.

See that mountain?  That's Day Three.

Pure luck!  The focus isn't great, but I clicked at the right instant.

Matt!

The Wreck of the Peter Iredale

Wind-sculpted

We just talked for hours.

Entertainment provided.

Does anyone know what make this is?
Look how close Tillamook Head is now!

Right over our heads!

What do you mean we aren't there yet?

A little rest.  9.8 miles is far.

I'm glad my kids like each other.

Katy.  Bold, confident and free!

Edward.  Photogenic!

Amy.  The Instigator!

Jen.  Endurance personified.

Marian - with the gift of friendship.

Matt - I had to take four pictures because he wouldn't hold still.

Peter.  I'm so glad we kept having kids.

Ben.  He won't look so smug after Tillamook Head.

End of Day One.  Almost to Sunset Beach.
