We spent 4th of July hanging around town. Seaside had several activities going on throughout the day. We started the day by walking downtown to watch the parade. The weather channel said that the high for the day was going to be 70 so we dressed accordingly. However, it never got to 70! I’m not sure it was much above…
We went for a bike ride into town tonight to get some gelato. I love seeing all of the 4th of July decorations that people are starting to put out. We walked up to the turnaround with our gelato to watch the sunset. When we got to the turnaround we saw our neighbor from the last place we were in.…
An unscheduled day off from work allowed for an impromptu trip to the rocks on the cove to look for tide pools. Walking on those rocks is not the easiest thing to do and you have to be careful around the barnacles because they are sharp! A friend told me that she used to go there as a child and…
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…
On Sunday we decided to head to McMinnville to see something I wanted to see. So we left early in the morning and made the 2 hour trip to the Evergreen Aviation and Space Museum to see the Spruce Goose. It was amazing. The aircraft is everything people say about it, and more. Below is a shot of the interior…
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,…
