We kind of last minute decided to head out of town over the boy’s spring break. I found a terrific condo to rent in Manzanita. 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom, located above a retail store on the main street in town. It is one of my favorite places for us to get away to now. Coast Cabins Loft 6 Neahkahnie.
Spent most of our time walking the beach, reading ( I bought a bunch of books at their precious independent bookstore Cloud & Leaf), the boys playing video games and watching TV. David and I had a couple of nice date nights. One was across the street at their local watering hole, San Dune Pub,
and a more upscale dinner at Neah-Kah-Nie Bistro.
Books I brought… 
Books I bought! 
The property provided s’mores kits for the boys <3… 
…and a big dog bed for the pups! 
David and I will often take turns taking the boys to dinner while the other stays home with the dogs. He took the boys to Tillamook for a tour of the cheese factory. It is a terrific, informative, entertaining, and delicious tour. They all enjoyed it immensely.
I also took the boy to Manzanita’s Big Wave Cafe.
It’s a nice, casual place that is good for families, but also fine for a night out. We split their homemade chocolate eclair pie. I have to say I think this is my favorite dessert ever. I can’t think of any other dessert off the top of my head that made me swoon like of few bites of this tasty morsel.
