Well, this week brought about the 2nd Annual Crazy Beach Day with my gal pal from Oregon Bethie! Last year we had the crazy idea to go to the beach even though it was the middle of winter…in the end we didn’t even let snow stop us from going wave jumpin’.
This year though, we were blessed with a balmy 40 degree weather and most importantly no snow! We meet in Cannon Beach (since I was coming from Seattle) and then headed for lunch and sight shopping; Geppetto’s Toy Shoppe (isn’t that greatest name?) was closed but the candy store was open!!!
After dragging ourselves through ninety thousand art galleries, (and trying, really we TRIED) to understand modern art, we rewarded ourselves with a wonderful cup of coffee from Bella Espresso. Bella’s is one of the BEST coffee shops in Oregon.
After harassing the poor Barista into taking pictures for us, we decided to venture forth for the real reason of this journey….to freeze our bodies in ocean and of course search for our friends the Belugas. We did find one and he informed us that his name was Bubba..or at least that was Bethie interpretation…
Beth braved the inlet river, while I protected our belongings from the many people on the packed beach.
I did eventually make it down to the water where I tried to stay dry, but the sneaky ocean caught up with me….drenching me to the bone. I had thoughtfully brought extra shirts, socks and sweaters, but failed to bring pants….It was an ‘arcticly’ cold girl that made her back to the car.
But the day was diffidently revived when we found a Pirate Cove, our future husbands and deep-fried mac and cheese. 
What a blessing it was to hang out with one of my very missed-we-need-more-dates-like-this- galpal for some quality time before I leave. I love you, Bethie!
Speaking of leaving…I found out today that our Outreach will most likely be to South Africa this summer!!!!!!!!!!!!!
