Hello! It's Tyler here to tell you about our latest adventures. First, we went to Oregon for a drive down the coast along the Pacific Ocean. The first day we were staying in a town called Cannon Beach, which is famous for Haystack Rock, a huge rock sticking out of the ocean. We decided to go to a beach further south, but it was really foggy when we got there, so we thought we would only be there an hour or so. It ended up clearing up and we stayed all day. After our day at the beach, we started our drive down the Oregon coast. On the way, my mom and dad saw a sign for the Tillamook Cheese Factory, so we stopped in since my brother and I love cheese so much. We bought some cheese, but also had some of their famous ice cream.

The next day, we drove to San Francisco and on the drive down, we stopped at Oregon Dunes State Recreation Area where we went on a trail which runs through the dunes. Stefan and I raced down the dunes a few times.

When we got to San Francisco, we had to get our car washed because it was covered in dead bugs from all our driving. In San Francisco, we stayed with our parent's friends, Rob and Sue, who helped us find our way around. We all went to a baseball game together at AT&T Park, where the San Francisco Giants play.  It was a close game, but in the end, the Giants won. 

In Chicago, the first thing I did was eat the Chicago pizza (remember my previous post when I said I had eaten pizza in every place we'd been so far?). It is seriously the best pizza I have ever tasted. It was so good ... really good. Did I mention it was really, really good? The cheese was the best part. Chicago pizza is famous because it's made in a deep dish, so it has a really fat crust.

After the pizza, we met up with our friend Greg. He lives in an apartment in Lincoln Park. He is a really funny guy. His apartment is really cool because he collects things like turtle shells, fossils, rocks, old books, and maps.

The best part about visiting with Greg was the ride through the city of Chicago in his open-air Jeep, which felt like a roller coaster ride.

We went to a classical musical performance in Millennium Park. It was an outside concert, so I got to play in the park with some other kids. There was a big fountain we all played in.
