Seaside or Bust

By
While Scott was in Orcas for the weekend, we joined my parents, Lili and Chiu, my Aunt Daisy and my grandmother for a weekend getaway in Seaside, Oregon. Seaside is about 4.5 hours away (about 1.5 hours from Portland), right along the coast. The town was the same as I remember it from ages and ages ago - a quintessential beachy little community, stuck a little in the 70s/80s era with dim arcades, candy shops and tourist shops. It was a fun little getaway though, and the beach was great - wide with soft sand, and since the sun was out, actually warm enough to enjoy! 

Out beautiful view from the condo we rented.
 
Nora (and I!) enjoyed hanging out on the balcony.

Awesome views of the coast as we drove south towards Cannon Beach.

We did a pit stop at the Tillamook Cheese Factory.

"Someone" enjoyed my chocolate dessert!

Found a nice little log to hang out on.
 
This was the closest we came to a family photo.
Sigh. I don't know when we'll take a pic where we all look okay.

Happy new year!!

Goodness, it's already 2025! It's been a really long time since we posted!  We had a very lazy new year. We flew back from LA on the evening of the 31st so spent the last remaining hours of 2024 cozying up on the couch and then fell asleep before it even hit midnight! On New Years day, we slept in, cleaned up the house and then did a quick hike the next day. All in all, a good start to the year! Nora's new blanket hoodie. Cold and muddy trails. We're not in LA anymore! We hiked the Primrose trail that follows Coal Creek.

Glass art

We picked up our finished creations from the glass blowing class we took a few weeks ago and I think they came out great! Can you tell who made which one? Nora's sunset pumpkin, May's bluebird and Evie's snow pumpkin.

Trick or Treat!

By
Halloween this year was the quietest one we've had in 13 years! This was the first one we had without the girls! Both of them went to friends houses and left Scott and I to man the door. It was very quiet at home because the doorbell rang only 4x the entire night, but at least both girls said they had a lot of fun despite it being rainy and dreary out. Thankfully, they have finally learned to not trust Seattle weather in October and chose warm(ish) costumes!
