Beach Day

So the sun came out and we decided to head to one of the beaches and check out a couple of the State Parks.  We headed to Harris Beach which is part of the Samuel Boardman State Park Corridor.  This 12 mile area is named after the first state parks superintendent in Oregon, serving from 1929 to 1950, Sam Boardman is often called the father of the state park system. During Boardman’s tenure, the state park system grew from 4,070 acres in 46 units to 60,000 acres in 161 units. Boardman’s goal was to take the wild and rugged scenery on the coast be always accessible to the people of Oregon. There should always be access to the coast and be limited to private use.

There is nothing like spending the day on the beach, watching the waves crash against the rocks, looking for rocks, watching the seagulls, seeing Lukie run wild over the sad and run from the waves coming into the shore.  A great day was had by all.  Here are a few of the pictures I took.  It is really hard to get a bad picture.  The scenery is just breath taking.
