Back in February my younger/little sister turned 18. I still have a hard time thinking she is that old. Well, I love surprises so I decided to fly up to Washington to sing Happy Birthday in person to her. I didn't end up singing but I did end up surprising her. Of course my parents knew I was coming which I'm sure they were grateful for. The last time I flew up there for a surprise it was for my little brother and they didn't know I was coming. You can read about that here.
Anyways, we decided to go to the coast and spend the weekend to celebrate. We stayed in went to Long Beach, WA first and then drove to Seaside to spend the night in a condo on the beach. It was beautiful weather and we had a fabulous time.

When we first got to Long Beach we visited the lighthouse. I think there is one in just about every town you go to on the coast.
Brad stayed home so I had to find myself a replacement
Kelsey felt like she needed one too

We bought ourselves a $5 kite at Walmart and tried it out. We actually did quite well. Next time we might want to upgrade to a larger one.
One of the best things about Long Beach is that it is one of the few beaches {it may be the only one} on the coast that you can drive on.
