Well, we didn't get up to Seattle like we had planned but we have romped, hiked, played and stayed all around the northwest part of Oregon so far and the kids aren't disappointed in the least, so it's been a great trip! Sometimes when you try to plan too many activities it gets to be overwhelming so allowing the kids, weather and whatever the day brings to plan the trip has been refreshing and fun!
Today we finished up our laundry, checked out and headed south. Tillamook Cheese Factory is always a fun stop and once again the kids loved checking out the cheese process and hanging out. This made a nice rest break along the journey. Next we headed to Pacific Beach over to our favorite brew pub - the Pelican. The restaurant is situated right on the beach and about 100 yards off the beach is an absolutely enormous rock monolith that is simply amazing. There are also these great sand hills that my kids love to run up and down and when I say sand hills, I really mean mountains as they are not hills. We got there just as sunset so here are some photos of the monolith and the kids!
We have been checking norad Santa tracking all day and it's time for us to get home, into our new Christmas jammies and ready for the man in the red suit to arrive! Great place, great fun, great chili and beer but time to head out on our journey once again!
