We went on our first vacation as a little family of four! We usually go with friends (which we love!), but we wanted a chance to experience a little vacation with just the 4 of us. It was such a special time and I love the memories we made!

If you’ve been following along for a while, you might remember that we went to Seaside a few years ago and posted about it here: Beach Vacation 2020. Seaside is so kid friendly that we wanted to go back, and this time with our little Londyn!

Day 1: Hotel Check-In, The Beach, & Pool

We stayed at the Salt Line Hotel in Seaside, OR and loved it!!

We made it in to Seaside around 4:30 in the afternoon. The hotel was so great and texted updates letting us know our room was ready even before check-in! I had booked a couple months in advance and it was so nice not to have to worry that they lost our reservation.

Check-in was quick and easy and they had refreshing lemon water in the lobby.

Our room was so cute!

After check-in we went straight for the beach! It felt so good to be back!

After taking a walk on the beach it was about time for dinner so we walked through town and stopped at Fultano’s Pizza! We used to live in Cannon Beach and Fultano’s was our favorite pizza place, so this was a must. It did not disappoint!

After dinner we decided to head back to the hotel to let the kids enjoy the pool! Swimming in the hotel pool was always one of my favorite things when I was little. It was fun making these memories with my own kids now. :)

After the pool, we got all cleaned up and watched a little bit of Bluey before turning out the lights.

The first day of vacation is almost always my favorite!

Day 2: Aquarium, Beach, Arcade & S’mores!

We packed a lot into this day! We only had one full day there so we made it count! We started the day off with breakfast at the hotel and then off for some fun souvenirs shopping.

After some shopping it was time for us to head to the aquarium!

When we were finished at the aquarium it was lunch time and we decided on Mo’s Seafood & Chowder.

We loved the view and enjoyed the fresh ocean breeze!

They have the cutest plates!

I got clam chowder in their Cannon Bowl. So good!

Londyn was definitely needing a nap by the time we were finished with lunch, so we headed back to the hotel with our treasures and took a little rest.

While Londyn was still napping Gryffin and I slipped out to get some one-on-one beach time!

We had a lot of fun playing together with our beach ball (note to self, bring a football or frisby next time. The wind really liked to take off with it!) Mikey and Londyn eventually met us and chased the waves with us for a little bit too. :)

Next we headed back into town and hit up the arcade!

We finished our evening in town stopping at Pig N’Pacacke for dinner.

After dinner we headed back to the hotel and picked up a S’mores kit! It was such a cute little cozy time together. We loved it!

After we roasted our marshmallows and finished s’mores we were just in time to watch the sunset. We walked the short distance and climbed a sand dune to watch the sun sink into the ocean.

Watching the sunset was the best way to end our evening!

Day 3: Beach & Home

Going to the beach was all we wanted to do on our last day. We chased the waves again and Londyn loved playing in the sand. We wished we could have stayed just one more day!

After soaking in what time we had left it was time to say goodbye.

Until next time Seaside. Thanks for the memories!
