Lincoln City

Last weekend we took a trip down to Lincoln City, OR and it was one of the most enjoyable weekends we have ever had as a family! We stayed at a beautiful hotel called "The Inn At Spanish Head". We arrived on Thursday evening and immediately headed to "Mo's" for some good seafood followed by a walk on the beach. The next morning we all headed down to the beach for a morning of exploring. The kids had so much fun discovering all the new creatures that were hidden in and amongst the rocks. Starfish, sea cucumbers, mussels, barnacles, fish (not sure what kind), and all sorts of other things, had the kids saying "LOOK AT THIS!" all morning. Later that day I took the kids school shopping at the outlet mall then Dan came and picked up the kids and took them crabbing while I shopped for myself for a little while.

Saturday was the best day! We spent the entire day on the beach....building sand castles, crabbing, flying kites and just plain enjoying each other. We took a small break and made our own glass floats at a wonderful art place. It was a fun experience, but really hot! Yikes! We took our own sweet time coming home on Sunday and even had time to stop at the Tillamook Cheese Factory. I am sad that summer is over, but couldn't think of a better way to spend the last weekend of it
