Getting Away

We decided to give each other a little vacation for Christmas this year. So three days after Christmas we packed our bags and headed to Lincoln City for a few days. We didn't have any kind of agenda. We didn't have a wedding to attend or family to visit or meetings to attend. We didn't have anything that we had to do. We just wanted to get away for a few days.

We left about noon on Wednesday, after my sweetie re-sealed the shower. We had been getting some black mold growing and it was gross. We thought giving it a good three days to seal and dry would be a good thing. It looks great now. I decided to exercise on the Wii while Steve worked on the shower.

We arrived at the coast around 3 and went to a late lunch or early dinner. Our Entertainment book app on my phone showed us where all the local deals were so we were able to get a nice buy 1 get 2 meal deal. The weather was kind of stormy so we headed to the hotel to get settled in.

This vacation we

wanted to take advantage of the hotel amenities. We used their workout room, pool and hot tub. The pool was a very nice size for doing some nice laps as well as just floating and relaxing. The hot tub was perfect for our after workout, after swim activities. The room had a very comfortable king size bed and with a nice big flat screen TV and DVD player. We brought along some of our favorite movies too.

After a nice free, hot breakfast we ventured out on Thursday to do a little shopping and to visit the ocean. Since it was raining we just watched the waves from the car. We again, enjoyed the workout room, pool and hot tub. We played games and just enjoyed our time together without other obligations.

Friday came all too quickly. We worked out and swam again before we finally packed up to leave. We went to the Oregon Coast Aquarium for the afternoon. It was fun to see all those amazing creatures in our oceans.

We still had three more days of "vacation" before our work week begins again. It has been very nice to just get away for a few days. I think I am rejuvenated again and can tackle anything.
