I spent that last six days at the Oregon Coast and the experience was exactly as it was expected to be. The weather changed several times a day, there were a lot of tourists, and the kids couldn't stop begging for candy, swimming, the beach, the arcade, stuff, candy, swimming, clam chowder, candy,... Well, you get the picture. It was a relaxing time overall and we all had a good time. The kids got to do all of the things they wanted, the SO got her hair did and a manicure, I went running most mornings, and we all got a lot of sun.
No sooner did we get home than we turned around and went shopping for shoes and school clothes at the Nike Employee Store. If you have never been there, or even heard of it, the store is basically Nike's clearing house for styles and also a way to provide apparel for staff at highly reduced rates. A neighbor of mine got us a guest pass so we could partake, yet again, in the savings and madness of the store. We were all ready to check out when what did we see, but huge duffel bags that will work for carrying stuff overseas. So there went more money.
As for going to D.C., the countdown is at seven days and a wake up.
Be well.
