Long Weekend
I left work a bit early and we headed south for Seattle Thursday night. The drive was a breeze and we stayed at the Hilton Doubletree by the Airport. I really liked the room we got – big room with 2 queen beds. Nice pool and hot tub. They give you hot fresh cookies when you check in. Great deal from priceline for $62. I called afterwards and the best rate they would give me was $155 so Priceline rocks once again. We enjoyed the hotel until 11AM and headed south to Cannon beach Oregon.
The drive was terrible, lots of traffic and the rain was just coming down in buckets. We weren’t looking forward to tenting it in this weather but we were going to do our best. When we got to the coast, the weather had cleared up and was blue skies. Our site at Sea Ranch Park was perfect. The edge of the campground with lots of trees around us. Carter and I slept in the tent and Linda and Haley in the van. It got chilly at night in the tent. We had a great Saturday at the beach and played a lot in the sand. Linda checked out all the gift shops. We fed the bunnies at the campground and pet the horses. We roasted marshmallows at night. Awesome day.
The night was the worst ever. I was asleep around midnight and then up at 2:45AM. The friggin air mattress leaked. I had to get Carter off it and blow it back up with my lungs. Got it going again but couldn’t sleep. All the huffing and puffing woke me right up. I watched the movie the Libertine with Johnny Depp (too weird) and then I watched 10th and Wolf. That was alright. Now I’m sitting outside at the table at 7AM writing this up and looking at our pictures. My head hurts.
There is another family awake and they have been since 6:30AM and they are the loudest rudest people. They scream at each other and their dogs bark. There’s another 200 people around the campground trying to sleep but they are oblivious.
It's July 1st - Happy 13th Anniversary to Linda and I !! Happy Canada Day !!
