Mark and I needed to get out of town this weekend and do some serious playing! Nothing rejuvenates us like a trip to the coast. Mark was craving some clam chowder from the Chowder Bowl and Karlee wanted to "go to the beach" so we left town. Our first stop, the Oregon Aquarium where Max the seal was celebrating his 21st birthday! There were all sorts of festivities including face painting. We stood in line for 45 mintues! Yes, it was worth it...for them.
This looks like a mug shot! Why isn't anyone smiling?!?!?
Okay! Some smiles.
Second stop, the Chowder Bowl for Fish'n Chips and Clam Chowder. YUM! Then down to the beach to play in the water (which was freezing). Karlee was the only one playing in it. Macy was off collecting seashells. Next, we drove up to Lincoln City to hit the outlets and grab some Tillamock ice cream. On the way back, we stopped to watch the sunset and waves crashing in Depoe Bay. So beautiful! The kids fell asleep on the car ride home which is always a sign of a good, long, fun day! It was the perfect break from our ordinary, everyday lives and a way for us to fall back in love with Oregon (since we've had way too much rain this year to have much good to say about it). ;-)

I am surprised I didn't see you. We were pretty much on the same path! Wasn't it great! I love the coast, especially when it involves the Chowder Bowl :)
