Friday Beach time!
It was close to 80 most of the day and we packed in a lot of stuff!
Well, first thing in the morning was hitting the laundromat (much needed) and its free wifi.. which was awesome.
Then hit the beach: Made a beach jar with some clean sand and sea water and a couple of shells in a mason jar. I plan to unscrew it every time I get the blues this winter and inhale deeply.
Since the central Oregon Coast is famous for kite flying, Dan dug out the kite we bought in 2007 and had put up on the top bunk when we got the trailer (for ‘just in case’ we needed a kite). Needless to say, try as he might, he couldn’t get the poor thing airborne.. even though he ran up the beach so far I thought he was headed home! Some locals and experienced kite people took pity on him and came over to inspect the problem. Seems it was missing a crossbar (that was long gone). Not to be beaten by a 2 yr old, $5 kite Dan returned to the campsite and whittled a crossbar out of some firewood kindling.. I kid you not.. and lo and behold, damned if the thing didn’t take flight! What a genius!
The rest of the day was spent wandering the beach and watching yet another great sunset *sigh*.
