To the Beach!!!

Well, crazy as we are we took off to the Oregon Coast for my family reunion, 2 weeks after Ethan was born. We were in the car for 4 days and at the beach for 1 1/2 days, which was obviously too much car time and not enough beach time. The boys traveled well on the way there but the way home was a nightmare with someone needing to eat, use the bathroom or whatever reason every 45 minutes. It took 12 hours to get back to Jordan's house, when it should have only taken 7. Brett turned to me the next morning and said that we will no longer be traveling when the babies are only 2 weeks old (we did it with Aidan too) and that I shouldn't even ask. I think I finally agree. Needless to say, we loved being in Oregon and on the coast. It was so fun to be with all of my family and Brett and I just love it so much up there. We are trying to arrange to go back to the same place next year, split a beach house with my family again, and stay a whole week. It seems like our "vacations" are always to see someone or because we have some event happening and they are always fast and not relaxing. We are vowing to start taking actual vacations next year and every year.
