We spent a couple of days in Las Vegas for TravCon. It’s a conference for traveling healthcare professionals. We were able to attend talks on housing options, negotiating contracts, tax rules, etc. We were also able to meet lots of different companies and see what they had to offer. We started the conference on Sunday with what they called Newbie…
We got up and got an early start to make our way to Las Vegas. On the way, I wanted to make one stop in Death Valley. The roads in the desert are so long and so straight. Happy Birthday to Scott! On our trip we passed warning signs for all kinds of animals. There were signs for cattle, deer,…
We drove about 10 hours and stopped for the night. We decided to take a more scenic route and got to see some beautiful scenery. Mt Hood was so pretty. The pictures don’t really do it justice. We stopped at a rest stop for a break and walking back to the car we saw a police officer running lights and…
There were no cases on Friday so we were able to get a little earlier start than we had anticipated. We got everything packed and ready to hit the road about lunchtime. It took us a while to settle into Seaside when we got there in March, but we loved it by the time we left. We got to see…
Thursday we met up with some of our friends for a good time at the winery. As always, there was lots of wine and lots of laughing. We have enjoyed Seaside and the friends we have made here. What better way to spend our last evening? I mean, maybe we should have spent it packing the last of our stuff…
Our last Wednesday in Seaside. I’m on call so we couldn’t do anything too involved . Also, we have some packing to do. So after doing some packing stuff we decided to walk to the beach to watch what may be our last sunset here. Luckily, it was a very pretty one. We have no cases on Friday so tomorrow…
Tuesday evening we went to check out the newly remodeled theater in Seaside. It it also a brewery and a restaurant now. It just opened within the last couple of weeks. They are going to show old movies on the big screen there. The first movie they showed was Jaws. This week was Top Gun!! It was pretty cool…
Sunday, I got up and went to the Sunday Market in Astoria. I really wanted to have some of the Marionberry cinnamon rolls again. In the afternoon, we had an enjoyable time downstairs with Barbara and Fred (landlords and coworker). Another coworker. Teresa, joined us for dinner, a few drinks, and some good conversation. Today, Labor Day, I didn’t…
Saturday, we went to Cannon Beach to finish the other portion of the Tillamook Head Trail. It was probably about 3 miles round trip. The view of the lighthouse was just as beautiful as the first time we saw it. Land ho!! Haha. Scott checking out the lighthouse with the monocular. Afterwards, I used it to take a…
Today marked one week left in Seaside. After work, we met a few coworkers at the Relief Pitcher for a few drinks. It was a cool bar that we hadn’t been to before. There was outside seating which is always a plus and it was next to the helicopter pad so Scott was able to enjoy the helicopter taking off…
