We visited the Tillamook factory for the first time.
They even had gf bread and were able to make gf grilled cheese for us- yay!
Watching them cut and package the cheese.
Cuddling with his dolphin as he patiently awaits our arrival.
We are finally here! Yahoo!!
We had the best weather, mid 60's and sun the whole time, it was heavenly.
I came down with a cold on day 1 of the trip but it was nice to have time to just relax and nap with the beach in the background.

Lauren LOVED that the bathroom had a tv in it. She took long baths and just hung out in the the bathroom just so she could watch tv in there.
Naturally they loved this whale and were so mad they couldn't ride on it.
Kind of weird that we are wearing our Seabrook shirts in Cannon Beach...oops.
So pretty!
Loved the candy shop, had to go there a few times.
This girl just cracks us up. Totally normal lunch for a 6 year old, right? She chose this- they even had gluten free bread so she could've had a sandwich but oh no, she wanted a salad. And her only complaint? That they put cranberries on it because she doesn't like cranberries on her salad.
We spent a lot of time at the pool!
Ben is braving it without floaties, though he can't swim away from the steps without them;)
Lauren loved how you could open up the bathroom so you could see the ocean while you took a bath. There were A LOT of baths taken!
Being cozy after a few hours of swimming.
The second night the kids and I went out to dinner while Kevin was in a meeting. Lauren wanted to order clams and caesar salad (and she made if very clear to the server that she didn't want cranberries on her salad). Now clams are all she wants. Between her constant requests for lobster and now clams, we are going to go broke! This girl has the taste buds of a 40 year old. Next thing I know she's going to want to order a Chardonnay to go with it all.
Ben got p.b. & j. At least we have one kid with normal food habits.
They had an amazing gluten free chocolate soufflé with peppermint ice cream on top- it was heavenly.
Bonfire on the beach!
Roasting marshmallows!
Love my Benny Boo!
The kids LOVED that we got to be with Kevin on his business trip. Now they are going to think this is what he always does when he goes away.

On the way home we stopped in Astoria at the Goonies house. It's so weird to me that someone just lives there and it's a normal old house in a normal old neighborhood.
It's pretty nice of the owners to let everyone walk up and see their house!
Kevin let the kids watch this movie about a month ago so they were so excited to see the house.
What a great way to say good-bye to summer! Thank you Cannon Beach!
