Unfortunately for mom and dad, we discovered the most amazing colors on the coast of Oregon after they left us. Beau specifically wanted to see the tidal pools on the Oregon Coast and after talking to a lady at the front desk of our campground, we simply walked across the street one early morning to go exploring. And look what we found!
You can tell by the title of this post that there must be an additional visit coming and you would be right! This first visit included mom and dad, which was fun. We enjoyed seeing the coastline, walking the beach, taking hikes up the steep hillsides and enjoyed rummaging through the driftwood and the rocks on the beach.
We were also fortunate enough to come across a couple cleaning some clams at one of the campsites we were staying in and they recommended going clamming! What?!?! We can do that? For us east coasters, clams are something that just appear in the grocery store...having no idea how they actually came out of the ocean. But we quickly found out.
What do we need? When do we go? Where do we go? What do you do with the stuff once you have it? Beau took off to research and get what we needed. And the next morning came early as we headed out to the beach, gear in hand. We were clearly the "newbies" as we were in sandals and everyone else was wisely in mud boots. Whew! It was cold!
