Seaside Trip

Right before I returned back to work from maternity leave in March, we took a little family trip out to Seaside for 3 days/2 nights. Paul & Georganne were so kind to share a couple nights with us at their time share (thanks again!), since they weren't able to use the whole week. So we came as they were heading out, but got to at least have dinner with them, before they left. We had a great time in our "new house" as Hannah called it (same as she did at our hotel a month or so back in Newport). It was very relaxing and fun to get away before we got back to the daily grind. It was an enjoyable little town to walk around and see, along with a little aquarium which Hannah enjoyed and clapped at the seals, when they clapped their fins against their bodies. It was clear, but chilly weather Thurs when we got there and also on Friday, but Friday night turned cold and rainy and it downpoured on Saturday. On the way home we also stopped at the Tillamook Cheese Factory, got some squeeky cheese, which Hannah loved, and of course some yummy Tillamook ice cream!

The cute little seals There were these little metal plates with fish on them, that you could color over on your paper. Hannah showing hers off...she had a little help from mom. :)

We came across this fun little hat store, with all kinds of hats in it...we had a good time trying different ones on.

Even though it got REALLY cold Friday evening, we still hadn't used the pool, and Hannah was insistent on it...but once we got in, it was a wonderfully warm 85 degrees!!
