The Beach

Last weekend we went to the beach with Jeff's parents.  We rented a house near the beach in Manzanita, OR.  The weather forecast was sketchy, but as Sam says, it's always nice at the beach.  Jeff and I did some running on the beach.  I always enjoy that.  The first couple of days the sun came out long enough for us to get some bike riding in, a little time on the beach, and a few trips to the park.  On Saturday we drove down to Cape Meares.  We walked to the light house and to the Octopus Tree.  Then we stopped at the Tillamook Cheese Factory for a tasty treat of ice cream.  On Sunday we spent time at the beach.  I did a little street shopping through town.  In the afternoon we tried to fit in a bike ride, but it decided to rain, so we turned around and went back home.  Monday we woke up to lots of rain, so we didn't make any last trips to the beach.  But we had a great time, and it was so nice to get away for the weekend.
