Lincoln City

The kids have been begging us to stay in a hotel for about a month or so. Travis and I decided to surprise the kids and take them on a trip to the Oregon Coast to stay in a hotel. We had to pick a hotel with a swimming pool of course. Martin Luther King weekend we told the kids we were going to have a family day and go on a drive somewhere. Little did they know that we had bags packed in the back of the car and the dog at a friend's house. As we were driving, Baylee had a thousand questions. Travis kept on teasing her about what we were going to do. She kept telling us that she did not want to go to the beach for the day. We told her whatever we did would be fun. Travis decided to pull into "some random hotel" for directions. We all waited in the car and when he came back out he started to drive and said I know where we are going now. He drove through the parking lot and pulled into another parking spot. He said, "We're here!" You should have seen Baylee's face, she was about to cry because she was so frustrated with Travis, she thought he was teasing her again. When the kids realized we were staying they were so excited! We had a great time as a family. We brought the Wii and movies. We went swimming, ate out and played down on the beach. We love spending time together as a family.
