It’s kind of crazy to be looking at a travel post with our baby in it. I mean, we’ve travelled quite a bit together over the past 8 years – Morocco, Iceland, all over the US and the list goes on. I honestly didn’t know what to expect when we booked our trip to the Oregon Coast with a 10 month old. To be frank, I was expecting a lot of sleepless nights and horrible car rides, but Miles surprised us so much. I should clarify that this is our second trip, but first as a family of three. Our first trip was when he was merely six months old to Mexico for a wedding. It was a dream because he wasn’t on solids yet, breastfed, and sleeping like a champ through the night. This trip was a bit different travelling at nearly 10 months old. He was going through that dreaded sleep regression as well as teething so he was waking a few times during the night, but did well on the car rides. We just made sure to time car rides with naps (thanks for the tips guys) and introduced a few new toys.
This post will be the first out of three. In this post, I want to share some family photos we took at one of our favourite places, Cannon Beach. Life out there allows you to just be. We took the opportunity to meet Abby Tohline who I’ve been following for years. She’s totally preggos and drove all the way from Portland to meet us here for a family session on the beach. It was quite windy and chilly but Abby did an amazing job and I am so glad we decided to take these. I don’t know when our next trip will be and I know everyone says that kids grow fast but experiencing it first hand makes it that much more real! You guys know I love my family photoshoots and I wanted to make sure we had some photos to look back on when we’re old and wrinkly. So, without further adieu, I give you our little family on Cannon Beach with Abby!
