Memorial Day!

First off, before I get to our camping trip, here is a quick before/after snapshot of me and my girl, Adi (:

Alright, now we can get to our trip! So, for memorial day (I know this is a bit late), we randomly decided to drive to a random beach in Oregon we found on Google Maps and if it wasn't too busy (which we assumed it would be), we would camp. So, on the slight possibility that it wasn't too crowded (which was highly unlikely), we threw the tent and a couple of blankets in the trunk, and drove a couple hours to Disappointment Bay. (I'm sure you can imagine why Jake chose this place). 

As it turned out, the place WASN'T too crowded, so we picked out a nice spot and set up our tent, threw in our TWO blankets and bags with a few extra clothes. After we were set up, we realized we might want something to eat, not to mention a fire, which just so happens to need a fire starter, some wood, and of course some smores! So we drove to a nearby town (only about 5 min away) and bought a few supplies. There just so happened to be a brick oven pizza place right next to our camping spot (we are really roughing it), so we figured we'd grab a pizza for dinner. After those were taken care of, we drove a short distance to the beach.

Adi and Jake had a TON of fun playing in the water. I decided to sit that one out, it was a little bit too windy and chilly for me.

Here's a little video of Jake and Adi playing in the water! They had tons of fun. 

Adi had a hard time jumping over the waves lol

While we were at the beach we saw a few sea lions! How cool is that! It was pretty cool. We will for sure come back to this beach, but when it's a little warmer. We had a lot of fun.

Jake was mimicking my Indian hair in the top left photo. After we were done at the beach, we headed back to our camping spot. We had bought some firewood, but not anything smaller that could get our fire going. Everything outside was wet from the rain, so it took like two ours to get a fire going!!!! Jake did a great job with the limited supplies we had. 

Later we ordered a pizza, which was the best pizza I have ever had by the way, and then made some smores !!! Then it was time for bed. We had one blanket under us and one on top. It was alright for a while, until it started to downpour!!!! We got a TON of water inside the tent from the crazy rain! I was freezing!!!!! Jake was fine, but I wasn't going to be miserable by myself, so I laid there shaking and shivering and complaining to Jake most of the night. Not only was it hard to go to sleep freezing, but our neighboring campers had a little too much to drink and were very loud. 

Finally I was able to find sleep. The next morning it was still raining like crazy! So we packed up as fast as we could and got the heck out of there! It was fun, but would have been better if we were more prepared! We learned the hard way.
