Our Road Trip

These are a Few of My Favorite Things....I Miss!

Vacation

We are back! We had a wonderful time traveling up to the Washington coast. We did a lot of driving but enjoyed every minute of it. The kids did awesome too! Our first stop.... San Francisco. This was the first time any of us had seen SF. We stayed one night and had fun experiencing the steep hills, seeing the trolley cars and driving over the Golden Gate Bridge. From there we made our way up the coast and stayed a night in Seaside, OR. We loved it there!! We already have plans to spend a week there next summer. While there, the boys rode the bumper cars. That was funny! Carter was all over the place. I sure hope he improves a little on his sense of direction before he gets behind the wheel of a real car! On Sunday we headed up to Ocean Shores, WA. There we spent the day with Erik's dad, mom, his sister and family. We hung out on the beach all day and had our favorite for lunch, fish-n-chips! We really miss good seafood! His family was only able to stay for the day since the boys had to return to school on Monday but our boys we sooo happy to have spent time with their cousins. Monday morning my brother, Marty, and nephew, Kyle, came and stayed with us for two nights. We spent the next couple of days, flying kites, eating more fish-n-chips, sitting in the hot tub, building huge bon fires, making smores, drinking yummy mocha's, building sand castles, playing putt-putt golf and just enjoying our time away. We loved every minute of being in Ocean Shores and thoroughly enjoyed our time with family. From Ocean Shores, we made our back home. We were so happy to get into our own beds, and yet we already miss family, the cooler weather, the water, the hills, and the greenery!

I have a lot of pictures to share so check back soon for that!
