We are packing up and heading inland. Here are a few things I will most certainly miss.
The Luna Sea House--best fish and chips in the area. I also had my first fish taco here, oh so good. Low on ambiance, high in class.
The "Hobbit trail" from our cottage to the ocean. Always an adventure.
The Green Salmon Coffee Shop--best cup of coffee and fruit danish, hands down. The oh-so-friendly counter guy made it even more inviting.
Ona's Restaurant--serving saffron laced bouillabaisse and tempura tiger prawns that will be forever seared in my brain as a divine food memory.
The brightly colored rhododendrons, lovin' their acidic soil.
Beachcombing. So much to find. So little time.
The view of the ocean from our deck. High tide, low tide and everything in between, a sight to behold.
Our vehicle rarely leaving the driveway. Enough entertainment by foot or staying put.
Yes, it's time to hang up our lazy bum shoes and don our gettin'-ready-for-a-wedding frocks. In a couple of short days we will welcome a son into our family. Sweet dreams.
Awwww, I want to go there now! And wow, you used some really big words this time. Bouilla...what? Rhododendrons? Holy smokes our students would be in total bewilderment with your Oregon vocabulary. Bring it back to Platte style before that dreaded re-entry into the cla....well, I won't type it. You're on vacay. Enjoy the wedding. WOOOT!
ReplyDeleteThe wedding was such fun and now it's back to the road and another open house and then...... No, I won't speak of it either.
DeleteWow! I was thinking to myself that it's been a while since I checked your blog only to find that I was WAAAAY behind! I am loving reading all the posts and looking at pictures of your road trip, and I will have to check back daily from now on.
ReplyDeleteI am also curious on what piece of technology you finally decided on bringing with you on your trip, you tech-y girl, you!
I see Queen Cindy also has done a lot of posting. Time to read her words of humor and wisdom :)
Wouldn't you know it, I went off-air just as you were going on. The wedding was such a frenzy of events that my computer stayed cozily in its bag for a few days. I got a Chromebook and it's perfect for me. I'm still a klutz at the whole process but now that I know that my computer whisperer is checking in, things should go better :-)
