Oceanside Beach, Oregon

One of the best parts of a road trip is being able to watch the scenery change directly in front of you. After hours of driving through prairies and mountains, it was quite an awe-inspiring moment when we finally reached the Pacific Ocean. We were on our way to Cape Meares, but seeing as this was our first time to the ocean on this trip (and Mike's first time to the ocean ever) we took our sweet time wandering around the beach. It was a stunningly beautiful location.
