Family vacation

We love road trips around here so when Daddy's fishing trip came up, the girls and I decided to meet him out by the coast and spend a few days there. This was the first time the girls were at the beach and they had a blast.

We started out with a pit stop at the Seattle Zoo and continued over to Ocean Shores to meet Daddy and spend the night. It was all very last minute as it was decided just the night before when Jeff left so while he was fishing the next days after we arrived from Seattle, we found a hotel and decided to check out the beach. After a brief hiccup (Mommy got the car stuck in the sand) the girls had their first taste of the ocean:

The next day we decided to move to Seaside in Oregon. They loved building sandcastles but the weather was definitely more windy:

Then we remembered Grandma and Grandma were spending the weekend in Bend, OR and since we hadn't seen our friends Chris and Sara who live there in a long time, we decided to spend another night there on our way back home.

4 days, 2 States. 4 towns and 1025 miles on a whim.. fun times! We have to do it again next year although this time around Daddy will NOT be on his motorcycle alongside us but in the car with us :)
