Getaway

I have been wanting to "getaway" for a while. I am having such a hard time with my job and being pregnant and life and cleaning and you know the drill.

So a few months ago, I started planning for Jared's birthday that we would "getaway" His birthday is during spring break, so it seemed like the most logical time to do so.

Also (and I am slightly ashamed to admit this) Kroten is almost TWO and he has never spent a night away from mom and dad. Seeing that in about 4 months, he will have to spend a few days without us while we are in the hospital, it was HIGH TIME that he try a few nights at grandma's house. So we did just that, shipped k-man to grandma's and "got away"

we went to Newport. It is on the coast and it was AWSOME. Our camp site was right on the beach and the weather was fantastic. I loved every single tiny minute of it.


It doesn't just look like he is moving out, it felt like he was. I may or may not have bawled when I said goodbye.


We were super excited that our name was posted on our campsite. How neat. Corney, I know, but it felt like they were waiting for us. :)


This was the trail to the beach, and it was literally right by our campsite. What a view.


We went to the yaquina head light house. We didn't go up because the line was really long and I was tired so it was just nice to see the outside.




And of course, we went crabbing. Jared is slightly obsessed with the sport now, so we will be going lots now.


Jared and his big catch. We were catching Red Rock Crabs. Apparently they are tastier than dungenous but a lot harder to eat, the shells are a lot harder and they shatter instead of crack. Jared didn't like it as much as the normal Oregon coast crab.


And this is what I did while Jared did all the stinky, hard work. I sat and ate my cadberry eggs. YUM. To make me sound a little less lazy, I am not allowed to pull up or throw in the crab pots cause I don't have a licence. So that is my excuse for not helping.

The sunset was very pretty. I really really liked Newport.
