Last weekend we made our way down to the beach in Seaside, Or. We did the same thing last year with our friends, the Smiths, so we all decided to it again. This time the Smiths brought some additional family members and we added another baby to the mix, so our group grew from seven to twelve! Needless to say, it was less relaxing, but more fun!
We were intending to stay just two nights, but got surprised with three while driving down. In Centraila, I called the Smiths to see how close they were getting. They were shocked that we were on our way, because our reservations were from Saturday through Monday, not Friday through Sunday! (Just for the record, it wasn't my fault! :)) So instead of turning around, disappointing a super busy and excited two-year-old, and braving a three-hour car ride again with a two-month old, we kept going. We got a cheap room for the night and called Jeremie's boss to get Monday off from work. In the long run, it turned out for the best!
Mollie's favorite activity was playing in the sand. All she kept asking was, "can I dig?" And Gabbie had the time of her life, eating non-stop and sleeping in bed snugged up to Mommy. It was a great time of getting away from the day-to-day stuff of working, cleaning, cooking, etc. We love our little trip and can't wait to do it again next year!
