Where the Columbia River meets the ocean there is a place they call the graveyard of the pacific. There have been several ships that have crashed and sunk in this area.
When we came to the tower to get a view of the ocean, we didn't know what to expect or what else there would be at the South Jetty. But the boys and daddy saw those huge boulders and they had to check it out. After several minutes they came to the top and said I had to come over and see how amazing it was!
It became one of our favorite places this trip, so naturally, there are a ton of pictures :)

When they got to the other side, they found tons of little crabs, thousands of muscles, starfish (my favorite), anemone, sand dollars, and other shells. Just the exploring alone was reason enough to come to Oregon.

The next morning we headed back to see if high tide had come in. Right where we were playing and exploring the day before, the ocean was now right there. Right where our precious kids were playing.
