Every morning, we went down to the beautiful beach to play. Jay played with sand, I did some boogie boarding, mom read, and dad dug giant holes. Dogs were allowed off leash on the beach, so we brought Barney with us and let him romp around the dunes. The first few days, we went all the way down to the beach and tried to build shelters to protect us from the biting wind, but then we discovered that it was much easier to just hunker in the dunes. One day, we walked the two miles on the beach to the town of Manzanita, where we walked around for awhile and got ice cream.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2195\"
