On my week off.

I took a little trip last week to see my parents (The Kip and The Vida) and my sister and her husband(Trout and Jer-Bear(I bet he hates that I called him that.).) They all live in Washington; just across the border from Portland.
We we lucky that Jer-Bear's parents let us stay in their beach house on Long Beach most of the time and it was crazy cool.
I am going to warn you now; I took a lot of pictures and I am posting a lot of them. Enjoy.

Me and The Kip found this nice pier while wandering in Portland.

That looks like The Kip on the end of the pier.

Trout on Cannon Beach, Oregon.

The Hay Stacks on Cannon Beach.

Is it just me or does he look like he knows more about life then I do?

There are a lot of pictures of the Hay Stack because I love it so.

We stopped at Fort Stephens. An old coastal fort that opened during the Civil War.
It has seen better days.

This is what a wrecked ship looks like.

And here is me and a wrecked ship.

My new desktop wallpaper.

Then we stopped at the free museum in Long Beach. It was free for a reason.
I hope no one puts a price tag on my stuffed head after I die.

I'm pretty sure this is real.

The Kip, the moon and me.

Light house of Cannon Beach.

More Hay Stacks.

The Kip and The Vida.
(Dear Mom, This picture is your own fault for never facing the camera when I try and take your picture.)

He kept a very close watch on me.

This time I didn't get in trouble for taking the dog's picture.

What a great place for a chair.

This little girl was the only one on the beach tough enough to brave the cold water. She spent a few minutes trying to convince The Kip into joining her but he wasn't falling for it.
