Hello everyone!
Sometimes I get really busy with "life" and BYC falls to the wayside.
I know this must happen to other folks as well, I'm sure you've all probably got some pretty cool stuff going on, so feel free to share whatever you'd like. Tell me about where you've been, what you did, or what you made, bought or found, projects you've been working on, or even if you learned something new.
They say pictures are worth a thousand words so go ahead and post those if you'd rather.
So we recently got back from a nice long visit at the Oregon coast, which was a little cold and drizzly for a couple days and then it was beautiful.
We stayed at a dog-friendly hotel at the south end of the Promenade in Seaside. These 2 gulls were just hanging out by our back patio...
We played on the beach, went shopping, bought a whole box of fudge and various other treats along with hand picked salt-water taffy in about a zillion flavors, rode the carousel, ate a ton of seafood and lazed around by the fireplace.
Twelve years ago, my husband and I went to Seaside for an "economical" honeymoon and it's become a regular anniversary tradition. After our daughter was born, we left her with grandma that first year while we went away, but it was oddly lonesome. She's come with us every year since and we won't be leaving her behind again anytime soon, at least until she gets to the age she doesn't want to hang out with us anymore. The beach is our favorite family getaway... Seaside every fall, Newport every spring, and any other coastal towns we can fit in during the year.
