Yes..I said "cremation vacation". This was the token phrase of the week, as we all flew to the Oregon Coast to say our last good byes to my grandma. Her favorite beach was cannon beach...she loved Haystack rock. So what better place to gather for a memorial. It was perfect.
This was also the first trip the 5 of us went on. PHil and I, along with my mom, step dad and step brother trucked around the airport with 3 toddlers, 3 car seats, 5 carry ons, a double stroller, and more. (imagine getting all that through security....) It was intense...to say the least. Getting on the plane, I thought was the hard part; that is until we were IN the plane. It was a lot of work. But well worth it.... Spending a week with my family (32 of us) was awesome! The boys ate it up, as they got tons of attention.
Below are a few pictures to depict the adventure:
