At Les Schwab, getting our brakes did
It's been an enjoyable morning so far. I did some laundry and watered outside, then Hubby and I dropped off the car and walked up to Sbux and Natural Grocers (first time there). We also grabbed a rental car since our car won't hold six adults and two babies. Should we just pull the trigger and buy one of those 15 passenger vans? Is that where life is heading?
(While we were waiting at Les Schwab, I received good news: my new glasses will be here Monday!)
HERE WE GO
We're starting to think that we're the kiss of death on day trips. Another forest fire erupted near Highway 26, our usual route to the coast, and kept us on the road for at least an hour longer then we would be normally. At first we thought it was just normal Saturday summer traffic, especially since this weekend is supposed to be so hot, but then we saw the smoke. We drove the rental car with the babies, and R, Hannah, M and B were in our Subaru, and we amused ourselves by calling them and shooting the breeze.
Seaside
Seaside was foggy and cool. We went straight to Fultano's and had pizza for "linner", then everyone took off for the arcade and played games.
Eventually we made it over to the carousel mall, where we bought toys for the babies (I may have scooped up some Mad Libs), and rode the carousel.
Then we walked down to the beach, and the babies were beside themselves with joy. Baby C, for the third time in a row, would not walk in the dry sand. It's so funny. That cute baby girl has her opinions! She was fine in the wet sand, though. We took turns chasing both girls around the beach. it was such a blast.
Cannon Beach
At this point some of us were very tired, so we loaded up the babies and drove the rental car home. The Subaru took off for Cannon Beach and more adventures there. Hubby was in his element, taking wonderful photos of everything.
