March!
I swear I say this every time I log in to post...I can't believe how fast time has flown by!
I still haven't posted the fantastic pictures from my 40th Birthday in JANUARY! WTH?
Anyway, February wrapped up nicely for us. The weather was warm fast, we hit the low 80s by the beginning of the month. We did get a couple of "cool downs" to the low 70s and we loved every minute of it! March kicked off with a fantastic trip to Cannon Beach, Oregon :) This is one of our favorite spots and has been since Cassandra was about 14 months old. We did a beautiful scenic drive up through northern California's coast/Redwood forests. It makes for a longer drive up but I think it's really worth it! The weather was glorious in Oregon, we only had rain the day we arrived and the day before we left. Other than that it was sunny (which I could have lived without, HA HA!) and chilly! Most days we were in the mid to upper 50s.
We visited the beach all but one day. We ate at our favorite spot, Camp 18, TWICE! We found a new local spot to hang out, Icefire Glassworks. If you ever go to Cannon Beach, I strongly suggest you take your family there! The place is owned by a husband and wife team who are real characters :) They do demonstrations of glass blowing as you watch behind a glass wall. It is fascinating! All four kids sat and watched for almost 2 hours the first visit and a little over an hour the 2nd visit. They are so personable and they walk you through the process as they go. After each piece is done they stop and come out to chat with you about anything and everything. They are on Facebook, check them out!
Aside from an amazing vacation, we are enjoying what is left of our 2nd week of spring break. It has included A LOT of sleepovers with friends and playdates. The weather is nice, a little warm but I am actually thankful it's only 84 right now as we have had many a March where we reached 90-100 degrees!
Here are some pics from our trip!
