Oregon Coast

For Spring Break we hit the road and headed to the Oregon Coast.  Neither of us had ever been so we were game for exploration and discovery.  Our first stop was along the way at the Bonneville Fish Hatchery, where we met Herman the Sturgeon.  HUGE!! Lyv screamed when it swam by:)

 My parents let us use their time share at Seaside, OR, and the kids were in heaven!  They loved the pool, though it wasn't really "pool" weather!

 Day 2: Took us to Tillamook Cheese Factory - where we saw and tasted some pretty good cheese!  Max thoroughly enjoyed his gift shop purchase for the drive back.

 We stopped at Cannon Beach on the way back - which was awesome!  Such a great beach and the scenery is truly breathtaking because its so dramatic.  This is also seen in the Goonies!  Gotta love that movie.

 Day 3: Found Shawn and Sam both sick with the stomach flu.  So I took the little ones downtown to the carousel and dinner that night just to escape the sick zone.  And we did some more beach combing.

Both Lyv and Jack ended up sick by the end of the day unfortunately!  Poor Kids!  So it was up to Sam, Max and I to venture out now that Sam was feeling better.

 We got a photo op with Lewis and Clark at the end of the Lewis and Clark Trail!  and explored the local aquarium that really wasn't worth the admission.  The  next day was Easter Sunday, and thankfully most of the family was feeling better - so the Easter Bunny delivered some goodies!

 We headed back to Cannon Beach one last time to check out the tide pools before heading home.  Overall it was a fun trip despite the sickness that caused us all to enjoy it in bouts.
