We drove over to the coast today and are staying here in Lincoln City for a few days. It rained most the way down, but the sun’s actually peeking out between the clouds now and it’s quite beautiful.
There’s a kid on the beach losing a fight with his kite and I know this makes me a big meanie, but it’s hilarious to watch.
Oh, come on. You knew I was going to hell anyway.
Vic has already thrilled the kids with the gas fireplace in our condo. He used “the force” to turn it on and off and had them going for about half a second. They may not know how to spell, but they ain’t idjits. Nice try, Dad.
Darlene and Wellington are staying in a hotel about five miles south of us on 101; we’re meeting them for dinner in a few minutes. Not sure what the rest of our vacation involves, but a lot will depend on the weather. It’s a perfect time for whale-watching, so if the seas aren’t too rough tomorrow we’ll probably go out on a boat. I went years ago with some friends and it was a lot of fun. That was before my equilibrium was so sensitive (is that a thing? let’s say it’s a thing), so who knows how I’ll do out on a rocking boat. Maybe tomorrow I’ll post some photos of me puking over the side of the boat. Lucky you!
It’s easy to forget how beautiful this part of Oregon can be, even in less-than-ideal weather, and I plan on bundling up this evening to watch the sun set over the Pacific. From the veranda, of course, not the beach. Hee hee—“veranda.” I’m so hilariously cruise-speaky I’m gonna punch myself in the face for you.
Please tell me you were kidding about the "boat on the Oregon coast" idea! Every year someone capsizes over there and my first thought is always "Well, they deserve it for even thinking about going out in those waters!" (I don't really think that but think about thinking that...). Because I love you I won't mock you when you go in the water but I really don't have time to come throw a wreath into the water this week...k?
ReplyDeleteOh, and have fun at the coast! :)
ReplyDeleteI love Lincoln City, the whole famdamily has rented a house out past the casino, land's end/road's end - grr can't remember - many times over the last 20 years. For the boat - ginger pills!
ReplyDeleteHave fun and enjoy the boat ride! We've done the deep sea fishing thing several times and I love it.
Hope you are having a great time!
ReplyDeleteChris ~ Tell me, where do you guys eat in Lincoln City, or do you cook at home? There were several places Victor and I would have gone to, but we weren't about to drag the kids there. Pig 'n Pancake can only be tolerated for so long...
