Happy Holidays!
I've been spending the last week or so on the Oregon Coast (Lincoln City) with my family. It was definitely an interesting experience to get down here. For those of you that don't watch the news, it has been snowing like crazy in Seattle. The snow doesn't really bother me, per se, but the entire city shuts down at the slightest hint of snow. Now, with 10'' on the ground, you can imagine what's going on.
My family drove over from Montana and met up with me near Longview, WA. We then completed the beautiful, windy drive through Astoria and down the coast. And here we have remained in our lovely rented beach house. The house itself has three floors, but they are all straight up from each other! Family room on the bottom floor, bedrooms and bathrooms on the middle floor, and kitchen, dining room, and picturesque sitting room on the top floor. I've been doing tons of reading, having completed 1.5 books as of this blog, and watching the giant waves crash ashore. The rain hasn't really subsided since we arrive, but some people have braved the weather for walks on the beach.
Other than that, we are playing lots of card and board games, opened Christmas presents, and preparing to go explore the sea lion cave from the movie Goonies! That's happening this afternoon. I'll be heading back to Seattle on Monday, most likely, where I will enjoy another week of reading solitude before having to return to work in January.
I'll leave you all with pictures from my new camera!
