Spring Break

Spring Break

In a few weeks, it will be spring break for those of us in school. I had saved some money to visit a friend down in California but that's been called off. I was very much looking forward to getting away from the norm, seeing and experiencing new things.

So I'm thinking of renting a car and heading over to the Washington coast. Long Beach is one of my favorite touristy towns...boardwalks, tons of little shops...one place has a couple dozen big bins full of shells from around the world...and, of course, that long beach for long walks. This time of year, though, the little shops just don't have the appeal they have in the nice warmth of the summer when there are lots of people...not that I like crowds but it just seems more like a fun vacation when there are others doing the same thing. And most of the shops open up folding doors to the boardwalk in the summer and you can smell the wonderful scents of bbq's inside. Not so much in the cool gray of March. Even the long beach can be just a bit boring right now...I love watching storms rolling in, from inside a nice little dune motel room...I rented one once that even had a fireplace and sliders out to a private little deck right on the beach.
There are beaches in northern Oregon that are rocky, lots of tidepools to explore...maybe I'll check that area out this time. Anyone have any suggestions? Anyone want to come with me? Build a fire on the sandy beach, watch the stars come out....it can't rain the whole time we would be there? I'm talking a few days at least!

OMG I wish I was there!! I did not get to spend more than a day and a half in your locale. I loved Seattle and the Pike's Market and had dinner at Anthony's and watched the sunset over the water. Went to Snoqualmie Falls and Chateau Ste Michelle winery for a tour. Then I drove to Tacoma and went to the glass museum and walked over Chiculy's glass bridge to the history museum. Then I went to Newberg Oregon and did day trips over the mountains to the vineyards, to the Swan Island dahlia farm, up 101 to Tillamook. I did it all by myself. Be brave and go explore if you have not seen any of these amazing places. I'd love to move there one day!!!

I visited the Tillamook area....it was great! I have lived in this area all my life and you have seen more of it than I have lol Well not quite but I have yet to dine at Anthony's and visit the glass museum. Pike Place Market is one of my favorite places. So much to see and explore, take pictures of. I went behind the famous Pike Place Market sign and took a picture of it with the tall blue glass skyscraper behind it...the sign had colorful chinese lanterns hanging from it. And the closeup of morel mushrooms...no one seeing that picture ever guesses what it's a picture of. Yeah, maybe I should just stay in this area and make day trips to local venues lol

Just go have some fun. It doesn't have to cost a lot of money. The inside of Chateau Ste Michelle is quite lovely and if you don't want to sip wine at the end- don't. I did that trip in early October so I have a different perspective- especially to Salem OR to seethe dahlias ( that was a really funny day- i went through the cornfields and ended up in Mt Angel at a German October fst)

I am heading to Mexico in two weeks not for spring break but just a break from this awful winter we been having here.. Snow yesterday and today. If your planning to come to the west coast your still in for more snow according to the forecast. The area your looking at is beautiful and lots of things to do. I like visiting these places when it is spring time or summer.. hugss V

You might want to get away down to Mexico. Lots of seat sales on now for one week. All inclusive.. just a thought.

My sweet lady is savagely, sensual,
a lovely tigress on the prowl with steamy
sexual urges and exotic desires that must
be quelled.

She is a beautiful, lusty and sensuous feline
filled with dark, sultry passions, and a savage
sexual need for her steamy, amorous lustful
passions to be erotically and totally fulfilled.

And she is a sexy wildcat that turns the steamy
jungles of my most exotic dreams into amorous
desires and fantastic reality.

I was just out there last Fall... spent a few hours at the most GORGEOUS beach in Oregon. I wrote about it here. It's definitely worth going, tho like you said, there's so much to see that doing local day trips is another good idea! Enjoy your break!

It all sounds really good. I'm lucky to live near to two coastlines. Both are unique and different in many ways.


LiveLifeDoU replies on 3/7/2017 4:06 am:
That would be fun to be able to experience two different coasts!

So nice to see you blog...
I happen to think that Tacoma is nice and so is Olympia.
In Oregon, the Gold Coast is nice and where the river hits and going up the river are some nice restaurants.
Love that area, but I wouldn't want to live there.

The observant make the best lovers,
I may not do right, but I do write,
I have bliss, joy, and happiness in my life,

Not sure I could live anywhere but the pacific northwest, Kitkat Most of us, I think, tend to enjoy the area we were brought up in. There are exceptions to every rule, of course! I am looking at retiring in eastern washington...a place that gets a little hotter in the summer than Seattle but also gets snow in the winter....the perfect mix for me!

WOW! That sounds like a great time. I would love to walk and explore along the shoreline, BUT! I just got out of the hospital, spent 1800 dollars on my pickup and $600 still left over from Vancouver last July. Unless I win the lottery I can not go anywhere for at least a year.

Have a wonderful time no mater what you do.

So nice to be insane; no one asks you to explain.

I hope your recovery is quick, Just! Yeah, winning the lottery would be a wonderful thing, for sure!

there is a little beach in Yachats that is called smelt sands state rec area, when the tide is out i have found quite a few small agates and a few half dollar sized ones. they are there but only when the tide is all the way out. me and my wife and friends have stayed there in a few vacation homes and have always loved it. we actually stayed in a house right on the beach next to that park i was telling you about it was awesome.

I've always enjoyed the New Jersey beaches during the winters. . It's so peaceful to look at and walk along. . And it helps that it's not crowded with tourists.
The beaches here are just the opposite, because it's Florida. . We're more crowded in the winters, because of tourists.
I do miss the NJ beaches in the winters....
