Oregon Coast Road Trip Planning

I am so excited to be planning my summer trip with the kids!  We love the Oregon Coast, and really Oregon in general.  This summer we'll be visiting several attractions and hopefully the kids will love it!  Here's what I've planned:

Day One

Today we will travel down the US 101 and take in all the beautiful sites.  Making lot's of potty breaks I'm sure.  Our first stop, Seaside.  This town has so much to offer for the kids, but I'm most excited for their 2014 Treasure Hunt!  The big kids will have a blast with this I'm sure.

When we've finished our quest, we're going to head down the coast to Rockaway Beach, where I've reserved a hotel room for the night.  I'm thinking we'll play at the beach until the sun goes down.  Then dinner and some rest.

Day Two

Today will be F-U-N!  First Stop...the Tillamook Cheese Factory

2013 Visit to TCF - Tanah, Clara, Tatumn, Henry and Alena

We can't go down the coast and not stop at our favorite cheese place for some ice cream and squeeky cheese!

Then it's down south to Newport where we'll visit the Oregon Coast Aquarium.  

Thinking we'll be pretty worn out after all of this excitement, it's time to head to bed at the Newport City Hotel!

Day Three

Today, we hit the road and say goodbye to the coast.  But there are some strange things ahead of us.

The House of Mysteries looks interesting...

Then we will head to Grandma Mateson's for some swimming fun and good home cooked meal like only Grandma can make!

Day Four
Today we are off to visit Salem's Enchanted Forest for some fun for the littlest ones!

Day Five

On our final day, heading home we'll stop at the end of the Oregon Trail.  I've always wanted to visit this museum and per special request from my fourth grader, we're doing it!
