Girls Weekend

Well, it is girls weekend - I'm at Seaside, OR with my sisters, mom, and Grandma Joyce (who turned 90 in August.) Thanks to our husbands and Grandpa Jim (who is helping out with the Jessee kids), this has become an annual thing. The past couple of years we've gone to Leavenworth but decided to try a new location this year. Thanks to Nichole, we all rode down here in the same car - which had GPS - which came in handy trying to navigate around the accident on I-5 which made the trip down here closer to 7 hours than the 4 it was suppose to be. We are having a great time - laughing a lot, visiting, shopping, and today we will do some crafting and games. The weather hasn't been the best but that hasn't slowed us down. Nichole wanted to go for a run on the beach - Andrea said she was game - Wendy and I tagged along - but we more walked than ran. I'm not sure this picture does the weather justice - it was extremely windy with cold, pouring, rain blowing in our faces. This picture was taken at the beginning of the outing - we really should have gotten one at the end. It jut goes to shows - we can have fun no matter what. (And that we are all a little crazy) The sky was actually blue for about 30 minutes while we were shopping - We are staying in the "Cowabunga" house - which isn't as nice as the places we've stayed at in Leavenworth the last couple of years - but none of them had this - our favorite feature. They should list it in the amenities with the hot tub and wi-fi. The best part is how well they did centering it on the fire place.
