Seaside - Day 3

Today we decided to have breakfast and walk 'Watercolor' (a neighboring community to Seaside). There's a lake, lots of amazing houses and small little pausing places that makes you stop and enjoy the moment. We totally missed this area last year when we came and are glad that we had the chance to roam and explore this year. A very beautiful place. Serif took his morning nap as we strolled the paths and bridges that abounded the area.

When we got back to the house we all lathered up and went to the pool where we all had lots of fun. We got to watch the local school kids take their P.E. class that consisted of swim lessons. Pretty cool to see. We then went back to the house where enjoyed a little down time and Serif took another morning nap (we're wearing him out). When Serif woke up we went and had lunch at 'Pickles', a great local hamburger joint, and then strolled the local shops surrounding the beachfront. Later, we went to dinner at Bud and Alley's and then watched the sunset from the beach. We then grabbed dessert at the local ice cream shop and took a stroll back to Watercolor where we wanted to see how things looked at night. Here are our photos of the day.

Amazing hand-blown glass cattails lined this bridge; absolutely beautiful and so inspiring.
