Oregon to Idaho and between

Oh I am so confused.  The R reminded me it is still July not August.  Oh how I miss my brain which is becoming a daily mantra.
So after the wedding we went back to Renton to get ready for our trip to the Oregon Coast.  The clean up at the Bnb went quite well although our truck looked like the Clampet's with Lucy keeping a look out.  Again, Syd and Chris kept the kids in line while we purged the fridge, did some last minute laundry in the upper and lower levels, fed the kids organic somethings and managed to get out in time.  BTW, We got a favorable  review from the owners!    The R along with Rob delivered the keg of beer back to its owners, but we held on to the cider. Back at the ranch we fed the kids left over  BBQ for lunch and dinner.  However, by dinner some of us led by Susan decided our guts needed a break and she ordered Pho.  Rob and Tony ate more BBQ, but we ditched the rest.  I just retired early while the Rooster and others sat out on the deck for a late night.  Not to worry - the kids were awake at o dark and early but so was I.  Off we went for a 3-4 hour drive to Depoe Beach for 3 days.  Another fabulous Airbnb organized by Desi.  Lovely view of the Pacific from the large deck, huge kitchen and 3 full bathrooms.  Desi was funny, reviewing the sleeping arrangements, presenting us with the options which included a room with a deck,  a full bathroom and king bed.  She admitted she hoped she and Rob could use it as their honeymoon suite.  All of us, in her absence had planned on that, but in her graciousness she wanted to offer it to us old coots.  So sweet.
The kids ehad many diversions - TV, pool, games...but we also went down to the beach to have them run around in the waves.  Bummer.  No more BBQ, so Rob made dinner of pork tenderloin.  I'm telling you, the years he spent as a teacher communing with the other teachers over meals and Cooks magazine has made him into an amazing cook!  TBCont'd
