Last of the Summer Visitors . . . part I

Tommy and Chandra drove the dreaded 14+ hour drive from their house in Utah to our house in Coos.   Tommy came last summer with Jordan & Abbey and had so much fun he had to bring Hailey and Nay back this year.  And we are so happy they did! 

In true Tommy fashion we packed everything possible into the 3 1/2 days they stayed with us.  We visited every beach, went crabbing, visited Bandon, ate Seafood, searched tide pools, saw the sea lions and hiked the coast!  It doesn't get better than that folks.  If you haven't had a family vacation with the Allens - you have not vacationed my friends.

Last year you might remember Brian and Tommy pulling out a giant sea star and wearing it on their heads.  Well if you know Chandra you know she will not be shown up. . .  and neither will her kids!

I'm sorry but kids don't get better looking than this.

After our little hike down the coast to Simpson Beach we relaxed in the warm sand and watched the kids play until their hearts were content.  Nothing beats a private beach with happy kids.
