Longbeach WA


It's spring break this week and we decided to take quick overnight trip to Longbeach WA. Oliver decided that napping, in the car, was optional on the way down but held it together really well until about 6:30 that night. This was Oliver's first trip to the beach and he really enjoyed the HUGE sandbox. His favorite was to throw big fistfuls of sand. He finally reached the water and once he got the lower part of his pants wet and his hands all cold and sandy he had decided that beach time was over. Noah and Joel stayed and played for quite a bit longer while Oliver and I headed back to the hotel to warm up and settle down. Joel and Noah got back, ate a quick dinner then headed over to the pool. Needless to say, both boys slept very well that night! Tuesday morning we were all waking up and Noah didn't feel well. We aren't sure what exactly he was dealing with, a mild flu bug maybe, but he just wanted to stay on the couch and watch cartoons. He did perk up a little bit so we took one last walk on the beach and along the boardwalk that they have. Of course we had to stop at the juvenile whale skeleton and try to figure out every possible way that the thing could have died. If you are in Longbeach and need a yummy breakfast place we recommend Laurie's Homestead Breakfast (I think that's what it was called). Anyway, the prices are low and the portions are huge! We had a great time at the beach and can't wait to go back for more than 24 hours. I will post a couple more pictures when I get a chance. Love, Tiff

Yeah, we only took about 360 so I hope that we would come up with a few good ones in the bunch!

I'm sooo glad you made it to the beach....Sorry I was such a dead end street!:( I never heard back from Trish...that other person must have decided to stay longer at her beach house. 'Looks like you had a great time in Long Beach!
