This Memorial Day weekend we took our first real family vacation. After a brief stay in Monmouth visiting Grandma and Grandpa Yost, we took Natalie to the Oregon coast for the very first time! How exciting!
We arrived in Lincoln City and our first stop was Mo's for a chowder lunch (the line proved we weren't the only ones with that idea!). But we got in eventually and had a tasty time. Next we walked down to the beach and introduced Natalie to sand. I though she would be a little freaked out by it but she wasn't at all! She instantly started playing with it and squeezing it in her hands. She liked having her feet buried in it. Then she decided to see what it tasted like. What a mess! It was hard to keep her sandy hands out of her mouth, but I think I minded it more than she did. She also walked a bit in the ocean. It was really warm on Sunday which was a nice first introduction to the Oregon coast.
We did a little shopping at the outlet mall (of course!) and then after checking into our hotel and a brief nap, we went out for a pizza dinner (yum!). She did really well in the hotel and stayed all night in her portable crib and we all slept like rocks to the sound of the ocean waves.
This morning we went to Newport to visit the Oregon Coast Aquarium. We saw lots of neat things and Nat really seem to have fun (although she spent just as much time watching the interesting children as she did watching all of the interesting sea creatures). What a fun place!
We had a longer trip home than we anticipated, thanks to the holiday traffic, but overall, it was a very fun weekend! We got a lot of great pics, so I'm going to bore you with several...
Oh, and by the way, Natalie turned 10 months old on Sunday. She was at the doctor's for a checkup on Friday and here are her stats: 28-1/4" tall, 16 lbs, 13 oz. While her height is pretty average, her head circumference and weight are in the lower percentiles. But the doc said she's developing just perfectly so nothing to worry about. She's just a petite little thing!

Hi. I am an agent from the William Morris Agency in Beverly Hills and we are looking for children to play the young Heidi Klum in the new movie "Heidi."
Your daughter looks fabulous and so much like the young Heidi. If you are interested, please contact me. We are planning on paying four years of private college for the chosen child.
