Oswald West State Park
My husband is a genius. He has this knack for finding the coolest places to visit. Does he have extra-ordinary mental abilities? Does he have incredible internet research skills? This question remains. However, I will never doubt his adventure seeking radar. He took us camping to the best little secret on the Oregon Coast: Oswald West State Park. The campground is not accessible by car but by wheelbarrow! Read: ultimate seclusion! The sites are tucked down in the forest, a short trail away to the most beautiful sheltered beach cove, an awesome suspension bridge, and hiking galore. We were in heaven. We also found that this campground is a surfers haven. We have made up our minds that the next time around we will have to pick up surfing.
Transporting camping gear-wheelbarrow style. The boys hitched a ride.

It was such a beautiful, warm week. The first non-rainy week in months. We took advantage of this by leaving off the rain fly and sleeping under the stars!

We all left feeling quite worn out 
That's Brent's best Edward impersonation, btw.
