July 4th at Seaside

Searching for seashells at Seaside.

Sam is always hunting. This time for razor clams.

She found a whole sand dollar.

The clouds look ominous and the wind was blowing hard but it was actually warm out there.
You can't ask for more at the Oregon Coast.

The crowds were gathering on the beach. At least 9 million people in Seaside that weekend.
We were lucky enough to have a cozy beach house to retreat to.
