Day off at Oceanside

Last Thursday we both had a day off together.  We planned to get up early, but when the alarm went off, we hit snooze, then when it went off again, we just shut it off and slept two more hours.  Aaaaaahhhhh!  Nothing like waking up feeling totally refreshed!
We decided to head north to one of our favorite beaches:  Oceanside.  It was an absolutely perfect day -sunny and no wind.

This is the beach when you first get there.  To the right of the photo is a giant rock cliff.  There is a passageway cut through the rock that allows access to another beach:

This is the view on the other side.  This is where Skott proposed to me :)  It's a very special place to us.

We were wandering along the beach and saw this (dead) jellyfish.  I was really excited, as we usually just see bits and pieces of them, never a whole one.

Then we walked on a ways and I saw this HUGE one that still had all it's organs visible:

We climbed rocks, searched for beach glass, laughed, and had a great time...

It was a nice break.
Skott is working full time at the casino now.  I am part time.  I am also doing a temporary job and with the way the schedules have fallen, I am doing a lot of double shifts.  Thank god for naps :)

Lincoln City is a tourist destination, so we meet a lot of interesting guests at work.  It is a refreshing change from the "screamers" I used to get at the hotel, and the isolation Skott used to experience as a driver.

We miss everyone terrribly and want to you to know that you are all welcome to come visit anytime :)
