From July 9th to the 11th, Carrie and Brian boldly went where they had not been before as parents: on a two-day, two-night trip to Yachats on the Oregon Coast with their five-and-a-half week old baby, Eliza. This trip went... surprisingly well! We discovered that we can in fact breast feed in the car, parked in a discreet location of course, and that Eliza does pretty well on relatively long car trips.
We stayed at the Wayside Lodge in Yachats and took full advantage of the king-size bed and a gorgeous view of the ocean. Having loaded up on snacks and diapers, we mostly holed-up in the room, making just a few ventures out of our room for walks on the beach and for a lunch and breakfast in town.
We do acknowledge that, looking at this picture, for all you can tell, there may as well be a melon inside the baby carrier. However, we do assure that we did not take a cantaloupe on vacation with us, and that Eliza is, in fact, wrapped up in there.
Hats and gloves on the beach? Yep, that's Oregon. The temperature was in the mid-90's in Corvallis, in the valley, and in the mid-50's on the coast for our morning walks.
So we had to bundle up a bit, but we definitely had a good time!

You guys look great and Eliza beautiful. Looks like you had brilliant weather as well. Enjoy the updates. Thanks.
Go parents GO!!!! I'm so glad you're out and about with this baba-loo. No need to stay holed up in town forever...baby Eliza looks like she LOVES exploring! I'm so glad you guys got to get away for a while. Hooray! Hoorah! I will try to visit you on my way back from California. If I can ever escape. I'm working like crazy. Isn't there a song about that? "You can check out any time you'd like but you can never leave..."
Oye.
Love yous,
