The beautiful Oregon Coast

Every once in awhile we just have to get away.  One of our favorite places is the Oregon coast.  This year it was just Kiana and Ty that were able to go with us, since Destinee and Kade are on missions.  We usually like to follow the Columbia River and this time was no exception.  along the Columbia River we stopped at a rest area.  From it you could see an Island, Memaloose, Island of the Dead.  the Indian Peoples of the Columbia River placed their dead in cedar vaults on this Island.

Our next stop was Fort Stevens, where we visited the remains of the shipwreck, the Peter Iredale. It was  an English sailing ship that ran aground during a storm in 1906.
