Hello from the Coast

Im sitting here in our cute little place on the ocean. It's raining right now so the kids are playing outside on the porch. Loving their new "Home". I really think they think we moved here. Keep saying "we'll make new friends".
Anyway, thought I'd share what we have done so far and some pictures.
First off, our Anniversary was very fun! I was spoiled.

• Saturday morning we went to breakfast at our favorite little spot Roy and Venitas, then dropped the kids off at Grandmas and were off to Walla Walla for a day of wine tasting and shopping. Very Nice and relaxing! Mike even hung out at a Starbucks with me. Now that is huge for him, of course it was a good excuse to play with the new PDA he got me and check our email on Starbucks wireless connection. Did I mention I am spoiled!
• After Walla Walla we were off to Dayton, a small historic town where we rented a Very Nice Cottage, had a massage appointment set up for me, then dinner at a 4 star French restaurant! Yummy.
• Sunday morning we were up early and off to scoop up the kids. We drove all the way to Portland and stopped for a few hours at the Oregon Zoo. It was awesome. So much fun for all of us. Remind me to tell you all about the monkeys. Naughty little animals!

• After the zoo we drove a couple of hours to our place here at the beach. Kids of course had to race down to the beach first thing.
• Monday morning we spend some time at the beach.

• Then headed down to the Aquarium and Sea Lion Caves.

• Today we are just relaxing waiting for the rain to let up. Now I shall head into town for coffee. I'll chat more when I am back.
