- Stayed at the Adrift Hotel - our fourth stay - in Long Beach, WA for a night, December 29, 2018 and dined at the Pickled Fish. Stumbled across the Lost Roo and ate their twice! - best chicken wings EVER! Sam also took a little fall into the Pacific Ocean that I don't think my nerves will be right for another month or so! But before Sam took a dive the beach was incredibly picturesque to include a double rainbow, blue patches of sky along with stormy pockets and Colette running after foamy beach clouds. Walked to the lighthouse at Cape Disappointment and took a drive to Oysterville.
- Colette likes pickles and anything pink. 3 words that describe her: independent, feisty and moving.
- Sam likes lemon bread, a recent discovery, drawing and packing up his backpack! 3 words that describe him: strong-willed, kind and unafraid.
I posted last January the below which I'm going to take with me into the New Year:
If you always try your best
Then you'll never have to wonder
About what you could have done
If you'd summoned all the thunder
And if your best
Was not as good
As you hoped it would be,
You still could say,
"I gave today
All that I had in me."
A rainbow for the New Year, thanks Glenys
