VACATION DAY!

That's right... It is a VACATION DAY... we are going to Seaside, OR for one of our last "hoorays" of summer. We plan to leave around noon and get there around 3 or 4 pm. I will be back Monday with a report. Here is what we read about Seaside:

Seaside has been the Northwest’s most popular ocean resort for over a
century and only 90 minutes from Portland, Oregon. It is a destination paradise
for a wide variety of reasons: its spectacular ocean views, miles of public
beach, unique natural setting, mild ocean climate, outdoor activities,
year-round events, excellent shopping, and unforgettable dining. Visitors
delight in dozens of unique boutiques, specialty shops, art galleries and
antique stores. Our 1.8-mile long ocean front Promenade is perfect for
strollers, joggers and bike riders. The “Prom” also gives access to those with
mobility issues, getting them closer to the beach. The wide and sandy beach is
available for all kinds of activities, from low rider beach bikes, beach
volleyball, wave watching, to sand castle building, kite flying or a hot dog
roast. Those young at heart will enjoy such amusements as the carousel,
arcades, miniature golf, bumper cars and boats, tilt-a-twirl, paddle boats and
canoes. Seaside has a plethora of culinary delights, satisfying even the most
discriminating taste buds. We offer family fare, fine dining, ethnic cuisine,
spirits, wine and brews, snacks and sweet treats. Local seafood and Pacific
Northwest fare abound. Many of our lodging properties offer daily and weekly
rates ranging from traditional hotels and motels, Bed and Breakfasts, Inns,
timeshares, condos, camp grounds and RV Resorts. Seaside is more than just
a day at the beach!

Happy Birthday to my friends Gayle and Lynette!!! Two friends that God brought into my life this year... and they have the same birthday too!
