Seaside, OR 2015

The Sinn family took a short trip to Seaside & Astoria Oregon this summer. I was so looking forward to some downtime after our busy summer! It was a good time, relaxing & low key. 

The boys spent the day fishing while the remainder strolled Seaside's Promenade & enjoyed the carnival atmosphere of the town. Carnival atmosphere = bumper cars & carousel! Arguably as much fun to watch as participate!

If you're ever in Seaside, OR, look 'em up. For a few bucks, you can have a good old-fashioned time.

 [These photos aren't from this particular fishing trip, but I realized I didn't have any of the fish caught! The boys would've been terribly disappointed had no proof of their prowess made it on the blog;).]

Here are the highlights from the trip:

Gorgeous sunrises

getting up early(ish) & sipping coffee on the deck in view & hearing of the ocean. 

time spent leisurely reading the Bible & working on a Bible study. 

Laura & Jesse were here from Ohio for the trip & I got to catch up with her, as she's the Sinn oddball & likes to get up early. 

Having Fiona with me this year: last year on this trip, we announced the pregnancy! Hard to believe it's been a year already. 

Getting fish & chips at Bowpickers in Astoria. Best fish & chips I've ever had! It's a fun experience too, & perfect for large groups-if you don't mind the lack of seating. We just ate in the bed of the pick-up.

Being able to eat some dairy-free ice cream! Yay!

House ogling on the Promenade

Getting to spend some time with this guy

And of course, spending time with family. I was rarely carrying Fee:)

Not a bad way to cinch up the end of summer. Until next year!
