We arrived Thursday to stormy weather, which was tossing and turning the waves. Friday continued more of the same so we used that time to drive to Astoria to replace the cable box which was on the fritz. Now that was an experience. It seemed the bowels of Clatsop County picked Friday to pay their bill or complain about this gadget or that channel not working. So thankful when we were finally done hobnobbing with Astoria's finest.
Hit Goodwill then stopped at one of our favorite thrift stores, Rag & Bone. Stumbled across a 1954 University of Oregon yearbook, which seemed to fit the date Steve's dad attended. Sure enough, there was Champ Husted in several pictures as it was his senior year. Couldn't resist picking it up for him and he was delighted when he received it.
Following our thrift adventure, we made our way to the Driftwood Inn in Cannon Beach for dinner. Great restaurant, tasty crab, and service was excellent.
Saturday there was actually blue sky! Surf still churning but was able to take Stubbs for a walk on the beach. Cold so he had to be bundled up in his Harley Davidson style dog jacket. I grabbed a few shells and beach pebbles for future crafting projects.
Browsed in Seaside for the day before returning back to the beach house where Steve cooked a mean rib eye for dinner.
Here's a taste of the waves.
Sunday the storm had returned which signaled our exit to leave. Was a relaxing weekend that we all, including Stubbs, enjoyed.
Today made up for my splurging by returning to the gym after work. First step getting there is the hardest but I'm going to maintain a regular presence in order to get this flabby bod in shape.
