Seaside

Lora and Emma

 My Parents just treated us to 8 glorious days at Seaside Oregon.  It was fabulous, relaxing, sunny but not too sunny, practically perfect in every way (it would have been perfect but someone was missing).

Ada and Lora

 We found the perfect hat, there is this little hat store that we love to go to whenever we are at Seaside.

Emma and Jocelyn

 We played on the beach and swam in the pool almost everyday.  We went for long walks and even rented one of those big bikes that can hold 9 people, it was fun!  Exhausting but fun :)

Don, Emma, Hope

 Everyone rode the carousel :)  Well almost everyone :)

 We spent one day in Astoria.  We climbed the Astoria Column.  I think it is 264 steps.  We were lucky and it was clear and beautiful.  Didn't spend a lot of time there it was super packed.  Hardly room to stand for very long.

We (my sisters and I) wanted to find the Goonie house.  They gave us a map at the column.  Took us right to it.  Doesn't look like I remember it looking in the movie lol.  We did go back to the resort and watch Goonies just to see :)

 Just around the corner from the Goonie house was the Elementary School where Kindergarten Cop was filmed.  It does look like this in the movies :)

 On our way back to Seaside we stopped at Fort Stevens.  My Dad had so much information. This Jeep is exactly like the one he used to drive when he was in the Army.  He drove a General around I do believe he said.  He said he was a great man.

 Lot's of area to run and check out things.  It was a good place to get some energy out for everyone and I liked hearing my Dad's stories and rereading information.

 Emma wanted me to give her a piggy back ride and i said I would if she gave me one.  We thought it was funny to see how close my feet are to the ground lol.  I was impressed she could hold me!

 Our last night we had to go for one last walk on the promenade.  It was warm and beautiful, we had such a great time.  I have been so blessed with my wonderful family.  I love my sisters!  They are my best friends and I always look forward to seeing them and spending time with them!  I love love love my parents, I love that I can see them  in me and I would like to think that I am the good from them both, they have taught me so much and they continue to do so.  I just can't say it enough, they are the best!

Goodbye Seaside, until next time :)
