Vacation...Take 1!

We are back from the first leg of our vacation. We all had a wonderful time at the beach. We stayed at the Surftides in Lincoln City. It was alright. Its been a challenge for us finding a beach hotel we REALLY love. Until that day comes we will just keep changing hotels. One nice thing was that it was right ON the beach. Unfortunatly not a beach we really wanted to spend time on so we didn't actually make it ON TO the beach during the coastal part of our vacation. Oops. :-) We did hit up the pool everyday, the outlet mall once, the Aquarium in Newport, Mo's, the park at Devils lake, & of course the taffy shop. Oh and on the way, we decided to drive up to Tillamook, to take the girls to the Cheese Factory, for a little tour and some of our favorite Tillamook Ice Cream! And so we stopped by good ol Pacific City for a beautiful shot of the mondo rock. We are off on the 2nd leg of our vaca tomorrow morning. To Great Wolf Lodge! We will be back down to a fam of 4 for this part of the trip though. Figured Peyton would be too big of a pain in the tush to deal with so we are pawning her off on Trav's folks. They don't mind, we don't mind.. Win win. I'll leave you now with a couple shots of our vacation thus far. If you are my friend on Facebook, the rest are there.. Enjoy!
