Coasting Through


Just returning from a weekend of "Coasting Through" as I like to call it. This means that the family is taking advantage of the nearby Pacific Ocean and beautiful Oregon Coast. This weekend's trip was a rain-check trip so to speak. We had originally scheduled a coast trip with the family over spring break, but.. due to Dawn's broken arm a few days before leaving, we had to reschedule the trip. Thanks to our hectic and busy schedules, the soonest weekend we could squeeze in was this weekend.

We left after work on Thursday night, heading this time to the beach cottage we typically stay in near Waldport Oregon. This gave us all day Friday and Saturday and half the day on Sunday to just lounge around and enjoy the coast. It was a fairly normal coast weekend: Lots of digging in sand and building large sand objects (only to have them completely washed away hours later..), kite flying with the kids new kites, water fights with the family arsenal of Super Soaker water guns, (each person has their own, so the family wars can get fairly violent) and brutal Phase 10 card games going waaaay too late in the evening. Tyler is still gloating for beating us all... Lucky boy..

Now we are just working to recover... thank goodness it's a shortened week this week thanks to Wednesday's holiday! I'll need a vacation day to recover from my... vacation.
