Last weekend my relatives from the east coast visited and we ventured to the lovely Oregon Coast. Starting our trek in Astoria and ending in Cannon Beach we drove, climbed, walked on the beach, squished sea anemones in the tide pools, enjoyed taffy, caramel corn, icecream, and pizza and happened to be there on the Art and Ferraris weekend!!! See the attached BEAUTIFUL cars we got to see and even sit in! It was a great day with beautiful weather (ranging from rain showers to bright sun).The next day we headed up to the Mt. Hood Skibowl to use our passes and had a 70 degree day of snowboarding. It was awesome! With Jack's wonderful coaching I progressed from 87 falls on one short run to fewer than 3. It felt so good getting into the heel/toe feel of things and soaring down the glistening slopes. We didn't get burned, too badly, showed the family our skills and made it possible for my cousin, Stew, to ski for the first time on real snow, on a real mountain!
