Getting away from the property

We have been working on the property daily for so long we needed to get out of town. So much so that Gareld agreed to go to the antique show at Portland Expo with me. We left as soon as we were done working on Thursday afternoon. Mt. Hood was lined up right in the center of the setting sun. The picture doesn't quite capture how pretty it was. We are outta here.

I really do love visiting the beach. It's so calm, peaceful and beautiful in every season.

Here's the view from our "oceanfront" room. The satellite photo on the website made it look a little closer to the hotel. We had a nice walk to the beach though.

I like looking through the antique stores. We also found an estate sale and a couple yard sales. I found some treasures at all of them. We even hauled home a dresser.

Gareld wanted to try his hand a t crabbing again. This time he managed to catch a lot.

A tip from a fish and game officer and we were off to find a train trestle.

Gareld is getting his traps baited and ready to drop in the water.

I had my doubts but the snare really works. This contraption cought a few today. We had a great weekend away together!
