tomorrow we take off on my family’s annual trip to the Oregon coast. We bring a new generation to our 50-some year-old tradition tommorow as the trip’s originators see their first grandchild join the fun.

her mommy and I are so excited to take delaney to the coast. We have a fairly secluded little chunk of beachfront property, right on the sand, all to ourselves for the next 7 nights. it’s a beautiful thing kids, out of cell phone range, no television, no internet…just the sun, the sand and our selves. see you on the flipside.
