Our latest trip with the Ottley's , Gleneden Beach, Oregon


have to have the night of smores on the beach. That is a Coleman/Ottley tradition.... And both years we froze!!!! This isn't California People!! ugh.


this is the living room of the house we stayed at. It was RIGHT on the water. We learned, once we got there, that the house (2 years previous) nearly washed into the ocean. Apparently there was a massive storm that lasted like 3 days and the ocean washed away all of the yard and took 5 feet of the foundation with it. They had pictures there at the house for people to look at. Good thing I didn't know this BEFORE booking the vacation. I so would not have gone there. As it turned out, we had a great time and rarely thought about the house falling into the ocean....


Madelyn and Me enjoying our Mothers Day on the sand.... Brian was in Seattle so I made my own Mothers Day Breakfast, lunch and dinner. Yum Lasagna.. GAG!!


our own personal path to the water from the backyard. This was an amazing house.



my 4 little munchkins. This was about 1 hour after we got to the house on Mothers Day. We of course had to play in the water (ya, I know, it was Sunday but we were on vacation all of you!!!). We came back to the house, got in the hot tub to warm up, made dinner and then watched the sun set over the water. The kids were very excited to go to bed as the room they shared had 2 very cool bunk beds in it! What a great time we had making memories, spending time together, laughing together, playing in the water together. I recommend every family at least ONCE in their life (if possible) rent a house on the water and see what happens.... its a transformation!
