Vacation

Just got back from a week at the beach. It was pretty typical Oregon weather (wet), but we got enough sun breaks each day to allow for a few hours in the heated pool or playing on the beach. Our friends Hunter and Lisa joined us on the first night (Sunday) and we had a nice dinner and a BAD movie. The next morning the boys went surfing while the girls bonded on the beach. Jillian really took to Lisa and asked for her often after they left.
Tuesday brought us a REALLY ugly morning of rain. Perfect weather to drive to Tillamook and check out the cheese factory. The women working in the cheese factory really took a liking to Jillian and kept waving to her through the window. I figure this may have been the slowest production morning at the factory. After having lunch and ice cream there, we headed back to the room. Much to our surprise, the clouds parted and opened up a beautiful day for getting in the heated pool.
The rest of the week was better weather with sun breaks and minor showers. This gave us lots of time to journey back to the pool and play on the beach. It was cold at times but nothing us hardy Oregonians can't handle. The wind also made for good kite flying weather.
We made it back to Portland on Friday and had a couple more nice days before having to go back to work. Now if I could just be independenly wealthy and do this all the time.
