I've heard of the place, but I don't think I've ever been there.
Hey, best way to go is to leave it all behind. I inevitably find myself with nothing to do while others are trying to figure out what they're doing or just sleeping in, so I will inevitably get online and do something there. When I still had the newspaper company, I took my laptop with me so I could put newspapers together a couple of times while we went on vacation. One was down in Mexico (very fortunate that even worked out).
So, I don't blame you for just getting away. It's very much the best thing.
Long Beach is a pretty fun place, then head south about 45 minutes and hit seaside Oregon and wonder further south to cannon beach. Lots of cool beach areas.
I totally agree, putting it all on the back burner for a bit sure did feel nice.
Aha! So you did sneak into Oregon! I've heard a lot about Seaside but never been. Cannon Beach I've driven past. We were looking at the weather a few days ago and Tillamook is supposed to be nice today. They're still saying upper 70s and sun.
Load up and head over there. Seaside is beautiful, and Tillamook, go to the cheese factory. We were goin to go but didn’t end up making it happen. Maybe next time.
The cheese and ice cream are about the only reasons why we would go to Tillamook. Pretty tasty stuff. :) Oh, there's an air museum around there, too, and I'm sure there's more. We'll see. My wife works a half day today and I'm not sure when she's going to actually get home. If she's okay with it and there's enough of the afternoon left, maybe we'll make a run.
