Bandon By The Sea

We spent an amazing 5 days at the Oregon Coast in a small town called Bandon. My mom and Ray rented a HUGE house on the beach and we met my brother and sister there. Grams came too! We had SO much fun. The house was amazing. 2 master suites, 3 big screens to choose from, a movie room, sun decks, a pool table, etc., etc. Check it out yourself:

We did so much I don't know if I can even remember everything...

Explored the rocks and starfish at the beach, went to a safari game park, ate too much, played games, threw a little early birthday party for Sophie, picked blackberries, made blackberry milkshakes, did a little shopping, played pool, ate some fresh seafood, flew kites on the beach, went on a jet boat ride up the Rogue River, went fishing and caught a 20 pound Chinook salmon, went horseback riding on the beach, saw the famous "Face Rock", and visited the lighthouse.

The only thing that slowed us down a little was a trip to the ER after Sophie poked Phil in the eye and her fingernail scratched it. Phil was in a lot of pain at first. He couldn't sleep and couldn't see. Luckily eyes heal really quickly! You should have seen the doctor, it was hilarious. He had long hair and a beard and he was wearing a pastel multi-colored shirt with big hippie sleeves, a sporty vest, light tan jeans and boots. At first I was a little worried, but after talking to him for a while, we could tell he knew what he was doing. Phew!

Thanks for the awesome vacation Mom and Ray. Awesome memories!
