Friday, Scott and I celebrated our 4 year wedding anniversary. We had a nice quiet dinner at a Mexican restaurant that is not terrible and then we checked off one of my “must do’s” while we are here. We had a fire on the beach! We took a couple bottles of wine, chairs that our neighbors let us borrow, music,…
Today was a very busy day here in Seaside! There was a sand soccer tournament held on the beach right in front of the Promenade. There were games with kids, adults, all women, all men, and coed. Lots and lots of people. When walking near the fields you had to watch for flying soccer balls! They closed several of the…
These are just some random pictures from being out and about. This guy is out on the beach every week building these sandcastles. This time he added fire. Some pictures of sunsets… There was a rainbow on my way to work one morning. Friday shenanigans at the winery with Paula and Don! Enjoying a beautiful day on the beach!
Sunday we went to the market in Astoria. It was full of local fresh veggies, fresh baked goodies, homemade stuff, wineries, and food. We purchased cinnamon rolls with Marionberries! They were DELISH! We also decided to visit the Seaside Aquarium one day after work! It is a very small aquarium right on the promenade. There were a lot of cool…
Saturday we went to the Columbia Maritime Museum in Astoria (one of the freebies for being a member of the zoo). It was a very interesting and informative museum. It’s amazing the conditions that boaters (commercial and casual) have to navigate here. And even more amazing is what the Coast Guard goes through to save boaters in trouble. Apparently, the…
For my birthday I decided that I wanted to go to the Oregon Zoo. Just so happened that my birthday was the first day of their Portland Beer Week festivities. They had food trucks, craft beer tents, lawn games, and entertainment. We left Seaside when I got off work and headed to the zoo. Luckily traffic wasn’t too bad and…
Wednesday, Scott and I joined some friends from work for a night of bowling in Astoria. This was the first time hanging out with these friends. We all had a great time! I love meeting new friends and having a good time with them. This weekend we hung out in Seaside. Friday, we joined some friends from work for some…
Today we ventured south on the Pacific Coast Scenic Byway on the way to our destination. It was a beautiful ride and the traffic was not nearly as bad as I thought it would have been. It took us a while to travel down this due to all the stops we made for beautiful scenery. This was one of our…
Friday we enjoyed a wine and paint night at a local winery with some friends from work! Saturday we participated in the Seaside Spring Wine Walk with a few friends. I was on call the whole weekend so I had a paint night and a non wine, wine walk. Scott was however able to enjoy wines from a lot of…
Saturday we had an awesome evening with some new friends at a local winery. They were celebrating their 1 year of being open here in Seaside. We drank wine, ate, enjoyed a live band, and had fun with friends. It must have been a perfect night for a fire on the beach because on our walk home we saw tons…
