Astoria & Seaside

      Another activity we did during Spring Break included a day trip to Astoria & Seaside with Caylin, and the Cottrell's.  In Astoria we spent a few hours at the Aquatic Center, which is a really nice facility.  The kids had a great time going down the slides while us ladies sat in the heated kids pool most of the time because it just felt SO good. 

       Afterwards we drove to Seaside and had lunch then walked to the beach.  Unfortunately the wind was not in our favor that day so we opted to skip playing in the sand.  We didn't stay too terribly long, but long enough to eat ice cream, wander through some shops, and let the kids ride the carousel.  It really is awesome to live so close to the beach and be able to make a quick day trip!
