This is the beach?!!?

We're in Oregon visiting the XO's sister and her family right now and a couple of days ago we took a drive to the Pacific to check out the beaches of the Pacific Northwest. Keep in mind that the only beaches I've ever been to have been in Southern California or the Gulf of Mexico, so I had everyone dressed in their swim suits and t-shirts. Imagine my surprise when we got the the coast and it was 60 degrees and the wind was blowing about 20 miles an hour continuously with 40 MPH gusts! The wind was blowing so much sand that we are still cleaning sand out of everyone's hair and ears. And it was freezing! But it was amazingly gorgeous.
