Blog Catch-up

Well with my normal crazy homelife and then adding to that a new business, blogging has slipped even further down the list if that's possible. I know I promised photos of our Spring Break beach trip and wanted to post Easter pics.

As I mentioned in an earlier post, our Spring Break trip to Cannon Beach was quite stormy. The first day we took a little walk along the beach in the rain and WIND!!!! That didn't deter the kids at all. We were in a nice little cabin very close to the beach and had a relaxing evening on Sunday night and then woke up Monday morning to NO power. Not sure whether it was just us or what was going on, we walked downtown to try to go to the Pig N' Pancake where the kids had been talking about going for days. All we saw was a sign on the door saying CLOSED-NO POWER. Obviously the power outage was more widespread. So we drove to the nearby town of Seaside to see what was going on there. We found the Pig N' Pancake there and it had power. We got our breakfast, but the power did go off and on the whole time we were in Seaside. We did head back to Cannon Beach to see if power was back and it wasn't. Thankfully, it wasn't pouring rain the whole time, and we could spend time out on the beach. We managed to get dinner at a pizza place that had a generator. Finally, at 5:30 pm, the power returned. I was getting worried that we were going to go into the evening with no light, and even worse, no movie. Agghhh!!! It was a fun trip. Here is a slideshow of some photos.

And, finally, even with all the storminess, here is a photo that sums up what the coast, and more specifically Cannon Beach, means to me.

PEACE and SERENITY

Okay, I still need to get to Easter, but it's past 11:00, and I teach cycling at 5:30 am, so I need to go to bed. :)
