Adventures in Newport

Brad had 2 1/2 weeks off before the start of his 4th year, so we had some fun adventures! We had never been down to Newport, so we decided to go check it out. We stayed at South Beach State Park and camped! When we got there, we headed to the beach! It was awesome because there was only one other family there, so we pretty much had the beach to ourselves!
It was a little chilly, but that didn't stop us from building sand castles and playing in the sand!It started to get really overcast and we weren't sure if it was going to start raining, so we headed back to set up camp. Setting up camp was EASY, cuz we got to stay in a YURT! What is a yurt you may be wondering? A yurt is the best way to camp in Oregon! The last time we went camping, I froze the whole night. This time, it was awesome because we had a space heater in our yurt and I was even a little warm during the night!




Here is our Yurt. It is like a big teepee!

Inside the yurt had bunk beds and a futon that folded down into a bed. And there was plenty of room for the pack and play! It was also nice to stay in the yurt because it started raining pretty much after we ate dinner and continued all night long. Brad made us a nice campfire and we used some of his crappy Perception notes (the worst class he has ever taken) as kindling! It was a great celebration to burn them! The next day, we went to the Aquarium and saw some cool things! Peanut really wanted to see the sharks and she loved petting the starfish. She tried to pet the sting rays, but she would get scared cause they move!


We had a lot of great memories and hopefully we can do it again!
