Spring Break at the Beach

I forgot to post about our trip to the Washington beach! It was a ton of fun. We olny went for 3 days due to other commitments but it was a blast. We manged to get very good beach weather for this time of year. It was 1 super stormy day, 1 transition day and one really sunny day. That is a spring time trifecta for the coast for sure!

The kids were popping in an out of the dunes for hours at a time. The water was cold byt our dog is brave :-)

Over all it was a very nice get away for how far we traveled. I can't wait again until next year to hopefully do it again :-)

A Trip to the Washington Coast

With spring break right around the corner, my family was trying to figure out how to squeeze in a fun vacation on the cheap. After brainstorming a bit, we remembered that one of our cousins has a small beach cottage on the Washington coast. We call them up and sure enough, they were willing to loan us the cottage for a couple of days.

The kids are super excited and so are we. We will end up with two long travel days for two days of beach time but we will make and adventure out of the trip so it is as much fun as possible.

One of my kids even went to the school library and checked out a book on beach combing so we can identify all of the treasures that we find on our walks. Check out the photo of the beach we visited. Doesn't it look good enough to be used for travel posters?

We are all very excited!
