Seaside-Day 5 and drive home

Wednesday, our last full day, we polished off all the leftovers we had and swam at our resort. It was actually pretty chill temperatures the whole time we were there, but our condo was a huge U surrounding the pool, and the water was super heated, so it was still pretty good. We also rented a surrey that evening (one of those bike-car-dealies) to have a last cruise around town. It was a lot of work of course, pedaling for the full hour, but it was fun, and even the girlies enjoyed it for almost the entire time. There was a kid basket seat in the front for them, and even though we had the employee take a picture of us all in it, I found out later that the memory card had been knocked out of place (when we dropped it while riding the surrey :/) and it didn't save. it made me sad-it was super cute. We had dinner at my favorite place overall, Pudgy's. The name sounded pretty lax to me, but it ended up being one of the swankiest places we ate. Oh yes, plus we got ice cream that night. Jeff wanted it the entire trip.

The babes in the surrey.

Now, if that's not the cutest thing you've ever seen...

...then, THAT is! She LOVED that ice cream cone-she's got her tongue out and everything!

Double first-time-on-the-real-swings event.

Amelie wanted to capture her own memories of the occasion... interesting...

My failed attempt at a timer photo. I twisted my ankle running in the sand, then couldn't get up on the tall swing. :(

Hmm.



We left mid day the next day after packing up and had a pretty uneventful drive home (except that we kept getting in trouble because we kept forgetting that in Oregon, you can't pump your own gas. Big time annoying.) We got home around 3:30 a.m and were happy to be home. Seaside was really a beautiful place, wonderfully lazy and a great time! We'd love to go back (but it may be forever, as there are always new places we want to explore!)
Phew!
