Over labor day weekend, we headed west! We drove to Seattle, picked up some good friends, and headed even more west to the beach! Sadie's grandparents own a little beach cottage right on the coast past Olympia in a little town called Westport. And when I say cottage, I mean totally rustic! It was awesome! :) I just wanted to spend all day taking pictures of all the cute trinkets and decor. It was a running joke that it must be a city ordinance in Westport that every house must be decorated in ocean/boating paraphernalia. Like buoy's, driftwood, rocks, bottles and glass of different sorts, you name it, it was used as home and garden decor.
The outside of the house:
The cute little play house. So much fun!
Boat sand box...
We got there, dropped off our stuff and headed to the beach. I love the Washington and Oregon coasts. It is definitely different than what you typically think of when you think of hanging out at the beach. I can still remember the first time I took Ben to the Oregon coast. He had just moved up here from the south where he was used to the Florida beach and when he got ready to go to the Oregon coast he changed into his swimming shorts and short sleeved shirt and I told him he needed to go change into at least a hooded sweatshirt! :) It's a little different if you're not used to it! :) But it still is beautiful and fun! I love that you can just drive straight onto the beach, park your car and walk into the water! We had so much fun! Tucker had been begging to go to the beach all summer and since we didn't get a chance to go down this summer in Alabama because of the oil spill, I was glad he got his beach trip in. :)
Anyway, the beach pictures...
Me & Sadie

Of course Ben & Doug had to go and see who could run into the water the farthest...
