Weekend at the Coast

Every year I look forward to Memorial Day weekend and not just because it is a holiday weekend and comes close to my birthday (not that I would be looking forward to my birthday). I look forward to it because it is Four whole days with no baseball or any other committments of any kind. Four whole days that we don't have to be anywhere except wherever we want. And where I want to be is at the beach.

This year I got us a room in Seaside for Saturday night and we spent two days out on the beach. It was a beautiful weekend, mostly sunny and temperatures in the mid to upper 60's, which is pretty darn good for May in Oregon.



We left Saturday morning and drove out to Sunset beach which is an area north of Seaside where you can drive out onto the beach. We just load up the back of the truck with everything we need for the day, lunch, drinks, towels, beach toys and park out on the sand. It's nice not to have to carry a bunch of stuff or walk back to the car at the end of the day with tierd kids.

The kids had fun playing catch. Tyler has been working on her catching.



The boys played football.



And baseball.



We flew kites, of course.





And generally digging and playing in the sand.







Saturday night we walked around downtown Seaside. We had dinner and walked down to the boardwalk.



Then Sunday, we went out and did it all again.









Luke doesn't like me taking his picture, but I took some good ones of him.





I think I need a beach house.
