Zoey's Christmas Gift

Every year we choose a family outing to do for Zoey's gift in her stocking. This year we were able to get two night in Seaside. We have a timeshare that has a resort in Seaside and we got a call from a rep in Dec. to offer us two nights for an owner update. We decided it would be a great getaway for the girls. When we got to seaside this last Sunday, I was shocked at how nice and warm it was. We got there early to bum around and went right to the beach. The girls had a blast getting all wet and sandy. After check in, we went right to the pool. Eva had been waiting all weekend to be able to swim. We all got in. The pool was nice and warm. But once you got out the wind hitting you from the beach, you started to freeze fast.

The next morning Eva got up at 5am.. Yes I said 5am!! I have no idea what was up with that. But we got dressed had breakfast and were on the beach by 8am. It was a little chilly but really not that bad. The girls walked with me for a good 45 minutes of course stopping every few feet to inspect something in the sand or play in the water. Then we slowly walked back trying to spot Todd who went for a run on the beach. We were probably out there for a good hour and a half before everyones fingers were freezing. Then it was time for some hot chocolate and of course the pool again!

The sun was coming up and hitting the beach just as we got out there! It was sooooo beautiful!

We spent so much time at the pool. Went to Astoria for lunch on Monday. Tuesday before we left of course we had to hit the pool one more time. This time Todd and I wised up and let the girls get in by themselves.. They did great.. I was wrapped in two jackets and two towels around my jeans!! It got cold that last morning. The girls were the only kids in the pool! After checking out we headed to the arcade to play some games and have lunch before we headed home. What a weekend! It could not have been any better!
