When we were in Oregon, we went to a cool beach at Oswald West State Park and stayed there the whole day. People we met in Orcas Island told us to go there because they said it was the nicest beach in the entire U.S. I think they might be right. We played in the sand for so many hours and explored tide pools with starfish and big, green, sea anemones. The next day we went to Ecola State Park and did a three-mile hike. We saw lots of slugs on the trail. In 1806, Lewis and Clark traveled on the same trail we were on, so we read all about their exploration as we hiked through the forest. The last thing we did in Oregon was visit the Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area. Tyler and I raced down the giant sand dunes. They were huge! We ran up and down them five times.

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.
