Summer beach trip

Friday we headed over to Depoe Bay for the night. I've been wanting to go overnight to the coast with the kids all summer and finally a bonus time slot opened up. So lucky us, we were able to get a two bedroom hotel room on a Friday night for around $80. We decided to have an itinerary since it seems we waste a lot of time trying to figure out what to do. This was helpful and made our trip a lot less stressful. When we first arrived Josh dropped me off to do some shopping and they headed to the beach. I was able to score great deals at the outlets which was a highlight for me. I love shopping! Alexis, Bruce, and Josh were able to relax and play in the sand with the sun shinning. I think the weather was just perfect. Not the usual Oregon beach weather at all. We ended the evening with a BBQ and a walk around the grounds of the Hotel. Presley slept through the night which was amazing! In the morning we had breakfast and all went for a swim. It was a nice way to start the day. Bruce treated us to lunch at the Sea Hag. Thank you Bruce! FYI the dessert menu doesn't have any prices! After strolling through some shops we headed for Newport and the Marine Hatfield Museum. Originally we had had reservations to go whale watching but there was a small craft advisory on the coast so the company had to cancel. It was very disappointing but there is always next time! Overall it was an amazing trip and I can't wait to go back!
