Family Vacation

Last week Clint took a few days off and we headed to the beach. We stayed in Seaside at a resort where were were in a cabin that luckily had a bathroom and kitchen. The kids loved it. I wasn't sure if we would get any sleep, but luckily they got so tired out everyday that the kids actually went to bed fairly easily. That is, after we took away the flashlights!
From there we were able to go and check out Fort Clatsop and all the Lewis and Clark info. Another day we went over to Fort Stevens to see the former military camp. This was a highlight for Clint and Dylan. What is more exciting than a bunch of large guns? For Courtney and Paige, I think it was the fun in the pool. But we all enjoyed running around downtown Seaside. Clint took the kids on the bumper cars and the carousel. We got ice cream cones and salt water taffy. We even had to stop in the arcade. It was pretty overcast while we were there so we didn't spend much time on the actual beach, but we still had fun!
