A Day at the Seaside

After living a quarter mile from the beach for ten years, living an hour and a half from it took some getting used to. Slowly, I forgot about why that meant anything to me and became conditioned to occasional weekend trips to the beach.

We recently drove the North Coast loop from Seaside to Tillamook. A day trip. But the rejuvenating effects were undeniable. It had been years since I had been through that area where I spent so much time and had originally fallen in love with Oregon's huge, rugged coast. It's nothing like the Atlantic, it's not even like the southern coast of Oregon. It's like something out of another time; breathtaking heights and picturesque bays...it's beautiful and so unbelievably relaxing. This needs to happen more often.
