…from his fullness we have all received, grace upon grace.
I was able to take Julie to her first Major League Baseball game on Sunday. We had a ton of fun. Hot dogs were eaten, King Felix towels were waved and the Mariners came through with a 4 to 1 win over the Angels!
A few videos from our recent fun at the park! I’m so grateful for good weather, good health, and getting to spend time with my precious little girl!
Driving home from our weekend getaway, we drove up the coast. We were looking forward to taking Julie to the ocean for the first time. We weren’t sure where we were going to stop, but just planned to stop when Julie woke up from her nap in the car. We ended up stopping at Cannon Beach, where we had never been.
It was a beautiful day, and warm at the beach. Brandon and I enjoyed walking in the sand an the waves. Julie, however, clung to us, and did not want to be put down. She did not like the sand on her feet, and kept trying to wipe it off. Brandon picked up some sand in his hand, and she touched it, but, we weren’t about to build a sandcastle. Julie also didn’t like having her feet put in the water, although that was better received than the sand.
So, we didn’t have a long trip on the beach, and we’ll need to try again, to let Julie warm up to the beach experience. It was a beautiful day at Cannon Beach, and a great way to end our weekend.
After all of the fun memories made, all that was left was to drive home. We went over the beautiful Astoria bridge, and up the coast towards home. We had a wonderful mini family vacation. Can’t wait until we can get out of our routine and make some special memories again!
We woke up Sunday morning and packed up everything from our hotel room. We then enjoyed our delicious continental breakfast before checking out. Then we hopped in the car to go see the Tillamook cheese factory!
We had a great tour of the cheese factory. It was neat to read some of the history of the Tillamook Bay area, and how Tillamook became the company it is today. Watching the cheese go through the factory was fascinating, between seeing the large vats for storing the milk, and watching the large blocks of cheese go along the conveyer belt being cut down to size and packaged.
We enjoyed our delicious cheese samples. Julie’s very favorite is the extra sharp white cheddar. We got some squeaky cheese curds and milk chocolate fudge for the road. Then Brandon and I each got a scoop of Tillamook ice cream. We felt a little silly eating ice cream at about 10 AM, but it was a rich and delicious special treat.
The cheese factory was very interesting, and a mouth watering experience. We look forward coming back again!
