This past weekend we headed down to Lincoln City, Newport and Tillamook for fun. Dustin & I got a gift certificate to Seiltz Bay Lodge which we were suppose to use as a weekend getaway with NO kids but we figured we would spend most of our time saying oh the kids would this. So we decided to bring them along. I called last minute and the gal gave me the only room left which was a King Spa room, which included a jacuzzi tub in our room. The kids LOVED it i think they spent at least two hours in it the first night. We went to the Oregon Coast Aquarium in Newport, showed the kids where we stay when we go to the wine festival and walked around downtown newport. There favorite part besides the aquaruim was going to the candy store and picking out salt water taffy. Later that night after we got settled into our room we walked on the beach for a while and then headed to the arcade at Elenor's which is across the street from the hotel and Mo's resturaunt. We had ice cream and played games then headed to the outlet store to pick up Parker some baseball cleats. We had dinner at M0's where Parker tried clam chowder and loved it, along with fish and chips. Preslie not a fan of either lol. When then headed back to our room let the kids play in the jacuzzi and then headed to bed around 9. (man were getting old!) The next day we woke up and ate breakfast at the hotel where Parker enjoyed making his own waffles. We played in the tub again and headed home the LONG way through tillamook. We stopped at the cheese factory did the self guided tour and had some ice cream before we left. A the way home the kids kept talking about all the fun they had and how they want to go back again. It was nice to getaway as a family and we made some wonderful memories.
