First family trip to the beach

This week we got a three day trip in up to the beach for our first little family vacation. I found a house on the beach in Ocean Park, Washington with a pretty good rate during the week on Craigslist. It's only about a three hour drive from our house if you drive the right way. The house was really private and spacious for us. It even had a hottub overlooking the beach, but unfortunately with Hunter we didn't get any hot tubbing time in. Maybe next time!





Ruby made matching hats for Hunter, Teri and I. So Hunter and I had to sport them when we were on the beach. We'll get a three musketeers shot with all three of us and the cool hats soon though!


We got Hunter her first Blazers jersey (even though it's a size 3T!) and so she had to sport that on the beach too. Gooo Brandon Roy! :)
I found a walking tour online of the little town and we had to check out this house called The Wreckage, built in 1912. A guy snagged logs that were from wrecked ships along the coastline in 1912 and made this house out of them. It was really old and cool. I love the simplicity of these old cabins.


Here is a picture of the sunset on our second night, so pretty!!
The house was stuck in the 80's with their decorations and electronics (that or they hit up the goodwill for everything). Check out the size of the remote to the TV in the background that had it's speakers on the side of it! They had a nice collection of VHS Disney movies too. We tried to watch 'The Black Cauldron', but all three of us fell asleep. Not sure if it was the movie or just time for an afternoon nap. :)


I of course had plenty of time to take a million pictures of Hunter while lounging around in the house, here's my favorite!

And we made a couple videos of her first time walking on the beach and walking in the wake with me. Enjoy! We sure enjoyed the whole time away!
