Out Of Town!!

 Yes i did!!! With family


"we are family, we are family, we be crazy, but we are family"  (from Northern Rescue)

The drive over the South Santiam was curvy, slow and very rainy.... But strangely beautiful. I kind of get overwhelmed by all the green once we are in the Valley.... on the mountain it is still winter, with barely there buds on the trees.... and No blooming... once over there were skunk cabbages, but that was the only color until you get way down lower and the blooming began with pink and white trees and the various bulbs.... but boy howdy did it rain!!!!

We only saw this one loaded truck on the way down, and then in town we saw some unloaded ones on the way back up to get another load.... must have been right at the tail end of the first load.

Then there were the daffies, LOTS of them.....
Once we got over to the beach it was really nice, just sweatshirt weather for the two days we were there.. until we left then the rain was starting again, it had been raining before as the sand was all wet and hard, no sandy, soft sand.... :(
Really became aware that i need to get out and walk and go to gym, back to yoga.  The motel/condo was on a cliff and the room had like 6 different levels, it was like every room or sitting area was on a different level, LOTS of stairs.... then down to the beach were MORE stairs and trail and they were not step high, but longer and you had to reach to get to the next, once up and down was about all i could do, then with LOTS of huffing and puffing, it was a sorry, sad sight.  When we left we were going to go to a beach where it was easy access, but it was pouring and the vote was to just leave.... rather than get all wet n sandy.....
A good time was had by all.... more pics tomorrow
Take Care and God Bless
