this city is a tradition

i love lincoln city because every time we come here we have that favorite restaurant we need to go to, or the favorite little shop we have to run into, and mostly every activity we do is a tradition. whether it's having the boys go crabbing, going skim boarding, or just going and getting a salem roll. it's tradition.

after everyone was finally ready we heading to the outlet mall again so we could eat at one of our favorite restaurants; momiji express. it has a sushi bar that the boys love, and general tso's that is unbelievably delicious. their famous for their salem roll, which i honestly have no idea what is in it, but the boys obsesses over it and after three or four orders they're full enough to last until next year. after we ate, we wondered around the outlet malls one more time and then we came back home.

the mitchell's came over and i took the girls to go do a photoshoot. they're beautiful little thaaangs, i will tell you! the neighborhood we're in this year isn't as photogenic as the ones in the past, so we ended up venturing off into the woods a little bit. one spot we found was a little close to a house, and the middle aged man who lived there stared out his window and smiled at us like a pedophile the entire time we were taking pictures. i kind of started to get the david brian mitchell vibe, we called our quick 15 minute photoshoot to a wrap and heading back to the house. it's sooo nice having family close on our little getaway, and to think that we'll be in portland next weekened for ashley's wedding surrounded  by family is even better!

afterwards we ended up going to mo's for dinner. let me tell you, you haven't experienced oregon until you've gone to mo's. that is defiantly a tradition. they have all the seafood you could dream of, and delicious garlic bread. oh, and did i mention most of their locations sit right on the ocean? gawjuss...

we came home, and all of us snuggled up on the couch and watched iron man 2. when your brother comes home after two years of zero entertainment, everything becomes cool again. no song or movie is too old to be interesting anymore. you don't even know how hot "airplaines" by B.o.B. is right now..

today we're finally heading to the beach! we've all been watching discovery channel every day all day, since it is "shark week". and you bet we're watching "soul surfer" tonight. this ginger won't be afraid of nothin.

we're leaving on monday, but the thing is, i don't think i'll ever want to leave...
