Vacation - Part 4:Umpqua Lighthouse

Umpqua Lighthouse, it's an active coast guard base, so we couldn't go into it.

Here it is from the beach, it's a hike.

The kids running away from the waves, their favorite part. (it was windy and cold)

The kids digging holes in the sand for the waves to fill.

R buried in the sand, he was so warm in there.

After the sand dunes we went north and found the Umpqua Lighthouse State park campgrounds. We found a nice spot in the back, close to the showers. We marked our spot and then went to the lighthouse. It's not open for tours, because its an active coast guard residence. They have a museum, but it was closed TODAY, for inventory. We were sad. We went to beach and the kids played for a little bit. They wanted to play all day, but it was too windy and cold. They had fun for the short time. We hosed them off with a warm shower and got dressed for dinner. We found a pizza/chowder place. It was yummy! We went back to our campground and played games(Todd read a book). It was a fun day!!!
