We stopped for breakfast at Camp 18 on the way to the coast.

The Sady family

We made our first trip together as a family last week and Auna took her first plane ride. We went to Oregon for a wedding and to visit friends. Auna was awesome on the plane. She slept the whole way without a fuss. I couldn't ask for a better baby. We arrived at 10:30 am Wednesday and were greeted by our friend and neighbor Phil. We stayed at his house in Scappoose for the time we were there. He and his family were so gracious. We stayed in the master bedroom and they lent us a vehicle to use the entire time we were there. It was wonderful. I will post photos of all his animals on another post.

Thursday, Auna and I had lunch with some of my old coworkers and hit a couple stores. It was great to see everyone and introduce them to the little Kugel. Al and Phil hung out in Scappoose for the day and we all had a really nice dinner later that evening.

Friday, we headed to the beach with the Sady family. We stopped for breakfast on the way to the coast, took some photos (above) and then walked the beach. We stopped closer to Haystack Rock for the boys to play in the sand. It was fun to watch them with their dad. They were busy digging and chasing birds. As much as we are enjoying Auna, I can't wait to be able to do more things with her. We had good weather (which is rare) and a great time.

Friday night we had a neighborhood BBQ. We all met at the Frawley's house and had a blast. It was great to see everyone and talk about all the good times we shared. We sure miss everyone and wished we lived closer.
