Spontaneity???

Today was a beautiful day in Salem. We wanted to do something fun as a family rather than sit around and watch TV all day and be annoyed by the kids. So we decided to go out to WOU for their annual Pow Wow. First, though, we went to "Jessie's McDonalds" (aka the McDonalds in Independence). Micah had been asking to go there for quite some time. After McDonalds we went over to the Gym at @WOU and watched a bit of the Pow Wow. Micah did surprisingly well considering how loud it was (he does NOT like loud noises). We stayed for about 15 minutes and then walked around campus and ended up at the Student Union building where Micah reminded us that he is still not over this bug he's had (an incident in the bathroom. I won't go into detail). As we left WOU, Micah fell asleep within 3 minutes on the road, and I said to Ryan, "Do you want to go to the beach?" So, we took off for the beach knowing that Micah would get a better nap if we had a longer drive, than if we went home. About 5 miles before the junction to 101 the traffic was practically stopped. We were traveling less than 5 miles an hour and it was showing no signs of speeding up. Therefore, we decided to head north on 101 rather than follow the traffic into Lincoln City. We didn't know if there was anywhere to see the beach if we headed north. We just wanted to be able to walk on the beach and then head home. Anyway, we ended up at Pacific City, walked on the beach for 2 minutes, headed across the street to the market for a snack and then headed home. It took about 5 hours total from when we left home. It was a fun, interesting day. Micah "rested" most of the day, so hopefully that will help with his recovery. Of course, I didn't bring my camera, so I don't have any pics for you. That was our day.
