What a weekend! Sunny, dry and in mid-80's! We just HAD to drive to the coast.
Right after we were done with our Saturday skating classes, we made a quick stop for food-to-eat-on-the-road, and headed toward the coast. To make sure we got the most out of our drive, we also stopped by a famous Tillamook Cheese Factory before getting to the coastline.
I have to say that cheese factory was not nearly as exciting as the ocean. As soon as we got there kids started complaining that they didn't like the smell. Not sure what the smell was, but it reminded me of a (sugar coated) roasted nut stand. It was rather strong too.
Got a few giant beef sticks, salt water Taffy, and some cheese, and we were done there.
Had some trouble finding a spot to park and drove up and down the road, till we got a spot. It was a ling walk from the sand, but we didn't really care.
Earlier that morning we stopped by a Pirate store and got a few things too. Larissa got a nice felt hat with feathered edges, Gabe got a voodoo doll and an eye patch, and Jon got a pirate bandanna and an eye patch too.
For some reason, Jon thought that if we go to the ocean, we will see a pirate ship, so he was a little disappointed and kept asking me where the boat was, but he wore that bandanna all day long and wouldn't let anyone take it off, although I talked him into moving an eye patch off his eye. Some safety concern there...
Time flew by so fast. We spent about three hours playing in water and it didn't feel any longer than an hour, but as the sun started to set down, it got cooler and cooler, and we headed back home.
Kids were extremely filthy and tired, but what a great day!
NOTE TO SELF: Cell phones do not do well after being dunked into salt water...
Sunday Daddy came back home from his overnight trip to Colorado, I made an attempt to clean out my truck (in and out), and we went to see Horton Heard a Who on Intel.
Relaxing and enjoyable day too.
