Today we took advantage of a low census day at work and traveled to Hood River. Our first stop was on my list of must sees in Oregon, Multnomah Falls. Part of this trail is still closed due to a huge fire the area suffered last year. As a matter of fact, a couple of the hikes on my list…
After visiting the aviation and space museum we met our friends Paula and Don at the Naked Winery McMinnville location. They were in the area to start their vacation/anniversary trip. This was the only Naked Winery in Oregon that they had not been to. Of course it was lunch time by the time we met up, and we know what…
Friday evening we met some friends for happy hour at Twisted Fish then headed to the winery for another paint night. Scott and I walked as usual. However, this was our first time walking downtown from our new place. Let’s just say that we may have “slightly “ underestimated how much farther we are from downtown than we used to…
Thursday we went to the movie theater for the first time in a long time. We decided to go see The Incredibles 2. Even though it is an animated movie, we thoroughly enjoyed it. There were only about 10 people in the theater for that movie and none of them were children! All adults! Haha Now that we are…
Saturday after moving into our new “home” for the next 11 weeks, we headed on down to a party at Naked Winery! We didn’t move far, but it is on the opposite side of town from where we were. This time we do have a designated parking spot!! The winery was hosting a Grease themed party! They had awesome props,…
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…
