Seabrook

Last week was Kate's first official Spring Break now that she is attending elementary school.  So we decided we should try to head out of town for a little bit and have some fun.  I had heard good things about Seabrook, a newer little community that was developed on the Washington coast.  So we decided to check it out.  We found a cute little cottage that was available for a few days that allowed dogs.  

We arrived on Tuesday afternoon and I instantly fell in love.  The town sits on a ridge overlooking the ocean and is made up of a bunch of brightly colored cottages, parks, trails and a few shops.  Everyone gets around either on foot or by bike.  

Our cottage wasn't ready yet, so we walked down to the beach to play for a bit.  There are a couple of trails from the town that you can walk down to get to the beach.  The beach is completely flat and was nearly empty.  We pretty much had the whole place to ourselves.

We headed back to check out our cottage and unload the car.  It was a tiny little place, but very cute.  The kids' beds were up in a loft that they had to climb a ladder to get to. They thought it was very cool, but it made us very nervous!  

That evening we had dinner at the only restaurant in town, Mill 109.  And, small world, ran into Dave's Uncle John and his wife Dianne as well as cousins Krista & Jared and their kids Abigail, Jack & Isabel.  Here are Kate & Jack playing with cousin Jack:

When we got back to our cottage, some neighbors were roasting marshmallows & making s'mores at the community fire pit and asked us to join in.  Who would pass up that offer?

The next day we rode our bike to the playground in the morning.

Then we went and played at the community swimming pool.

Then we got cleaned up and walked to the pottery painting studio for some craft time.

More bike riding and fun around town.

Worn out!

After resting, we headed back to the beach.

We had so much fun at Seabrook!  In fact, we have already booked a place for Memorial Day weekend.  And we are taking the Schufreider family along with us.  Can't wait to get back there!
