The Rest of the Trip...

Daddy joined us!
Daredevil Dylan went down this slide by himself & cried when we left screaming, "AGAIN!"

HIGHLIGHTS:
* Quick trip to Seattle to visit Uncle Rog, Aunt Judy, Jeff & his cute family. Breakfast & a beautiful drive to Maltby's.
* We spent 3 glorious days at a beach house my parents rented in Lincoln City. Although the weather wasn't great, we had a GREAT time! The house was perfect, the company, too. We missed T & Jo + fams, but next time I'm sure they'll come. We did take Sophia with us, and several people asked if she and Dylan were twins. Tidepools, good shopping, good food, & lots of fun!
* Dinner with my friend, Stef & our families. We reunited recently through F/B & blogging, and it was just so nice to spend time with her...one of those friends that feels like no time has past, a kindred spirit. She has the cutest family of 3 little girls and a wonderful husband, and they live in a beautiful home that Mike built. Stef was the perfect hostess & we all had a wonderful time. Dylan even snuck in a hug & kiss for little Ruby before we left, but of course I didn't get a pic! :)* Picnic at Jacquith w/ Aunt C, Gramma-Gramma, Miss & cousins. This is where we spent half our childhood playing softball, baseball & tennis. Memories! We also drove by the house that Ben grew up in.
* Date night in Portland. We always try to sneak away kid-less at least once! Ben & I enjoyed a romantic evening along the waterfront in Portland. We found a new Chinese place right around the corner from the Marriott where we spent our first night as Mr. & Mrs. We walked around, shared some yummy Tillamook icecream & dreamed a little.* We also spent lots of time relaxing, watching movies, wrestling "the uncles", playing legos & pong...just enjoying ourselves being together. Thanks everyone for such a nice & memorable trip!!!
