our spring break...
We had a great spring break!!!!
The kids were off in different directions and we went to the beach!!!!
We went to Ocean Park on Long Beach and had a great time with our friends, Ray and Sherri.
We had fresh seafood for dinner: 3 different kinds of oysters; steamed, fried, and barbequed with worchestershire sauce and pepper-jack cheese melted on top, fresh crab, smoked salmon, steamer clams, and razor clams lightly breaded and lightly fried.........YUM!!!!!!
The beach was cold...that's ok....it is still breathtaking.
We travelled to Astoria one day and climbed the Astoria Column which had an awesome view of the mouth of the Columbia River and the ocean.
I have to say that climbing the column was probably the highlight ( well, not the climb....yikes....164 steps straight up!). This column is one of the most beautiful architectual pieces I have ever seen!
It depicts different murals set in a frieze of Lewis and Clarks' expedition. It is gorgeous!!!!!
We finished up our trip in Seaside and Cannon Beach before heading home.
One of the "funnies" of the trip was in Seaside. We went to Doogers for lunch and when we got inside there was a sign that said,"Congratulations, Lori, it's been 15 years!" and we had just said that it had been 15 years since I've been to Seaside so, obviously, that sign was for me.
It's all about me, right?
Oh, and we found some "Happy bunny" playing cards....that was great, and I found some Happy bunny chapstick that said," Your lips are kinda ucky."
I collect funny chapsticks.....it's just what I do.
That was our week!
What did you do on your break??
I'm listening........

I had a daughter to enjoy over Spring Break - your daughter! But we called her MY daughter...and she was such a joy.
So warm, loving, eager to help and so much fun. We had a wonderful time.
