The Oregon Coast and Other Ramblings

It seems that there is something very tiring about sitting in a truck for hours at a time. I am exhausted every day. Even Reece is going to bed super early. This means that I'm behind in my blog updating. So while I'm writing about Oregon, I'm actually in Ventura, California today.


Driving the coast was really beautiful. The weather wasn't great, but we got some beautiful views. When Reece was tired of driving we decided to pull over for a little while, and found a great little beach area, with some awesome views. I think it was called Devil's Churn. There was a pathway down, so we went for a little walk.

Checking out the view!

Reece wanted to make his own way to the beach.

First time Reece touched the Pacific!

Obligatory family pic!

Although it's kind of nice to have Reece tired and going to bed so easily, there is a bit of a downside as well. He likes to wake up early. And with the time change that happened he wakes up even earlier. Occasionally, like today, I am so tired I can barely think. But seeing the sun rise is nice?

Someone asked me to explain our daily life so far. After we wake up we basically hang around the trailer until we decide it's time to go. We try to time it so that by the time we're in the truck Reece is really tired. He's starting to hate going in the car seat, so we have to bribe him with goldfish crackers to get in the seat long enough to buckle him up. But once he's in there all is good. Usually he sleeps for a few hours. When he wakes up we try to stop if possible. He gets very cranky around two o'clock, and is ready for a nap again.

In theory we'd planned to drive from about 10-2, but often we aren't getting into a campsite until dusk. Reece has been a trooper so far though. In the evenings we set up, and try to go for a walk. But sadly we also usually watch a bit of TV (most parks have cable) and then go to bed really early. Life is getting a bit repetitive and uninteresting. So I will leave you with a picture of Reece hanging out in the trailer. And a bonus one of him being adorable.
