Mini-Moon to the Oregon Coast

Originally our hope was to spend our honeymoon camping in a yurt (because yurts are awesome!), but when we went to book BACK IN JANUARY, every yurt in Oregon was already reserved for our dates. I am not exaggerating. 

Just another lesson in taking what comes and learning to let go of plans. 

Instead, my friend Julia's parents, who own a beach house in a small town on the Oregon Coast, offered to let us borrow their place for a few days. 

We spent our honeymoon picnicking on the beach at sunset, climbing sand dunes, flying kites at Cannon Beach, road tripping along Highway 101 and touring the McCullough bridges (designed by Kevin's great grandfather). 

A perfectly acceptable alternative to a yurt, I would say.
