So Jeromy and I had been planning for a couple of months to get away for a few days to the ocean cause we weren't able to during our anniversary time in October. Work was too busy, and I needed to be with my mom- love you mom!
But we knew during the Christmas closure we'd have some time. Dec. 26-28 to be exact- and a nice hotel on the water is pretty cheap the day after Christmas- score!
Driving into Ocean Shores we had to get a picture of this store- don't remember seeing this the last time I was at the ocean but it's been several years. But I thought of my cousin's son Max who loves sharks!
Our hotel, decent size- alot larger then the Seattle hotels. The ocean is right outside, ok it's a bit of a walk but there's nothing between us and the ocean... so pretty....
Our room had a little kitchenette which was nice cause we were able to buy alot of food and eat in our room to save money... and our waistlines!
Our first night this was the sun setting thru the clouds... beautiful...
A close up..... so awesome....
Yup- I worked out in the hotel gym. That's how I roll....
It rained most of the time we were there, but that's ok- we just wanted to get away. But the second day it was actually sunny for the first half of the day. And I wanted a cool piece of drift wood, they say wood is for the 5th anniversary. I wanted a piece of ocean drift wood. There's Jeromy on the right there...
There was some pretty large pieces of drift wood I wanted but Jeromy said noway..
Where did this come from? Where was it planted originally? So curious!
The sand spiraled around this piece.....
The ocean is so magestic. It reminded Jeromy of this verse:
Proverbs 8:29 When He assigned to the sea its limit, So that the waters would not transgress His command, When He marked out the foundations of the earth
It's so amazing... God commanded the oceans how far they would come and they obey, how can we as man ignore God's call...
So pretty, these pictures don't do it justice..
My man....
Me, it was cold but not too windy!
The cheesy-love-factory....
Have I ever told you I LOVE room service. Just read off the menu, make a phone call, they bring it right to you! Awesome! Notice the salads... trying to eat good- at least of the meals a day lol!
After leaving the ocean Jeromy and I headed to Tacoma to pick up Aurora. Then I dropped them both off at home then I headed to my parents to pick up Kent. He stayed with them for one of the days we were gone. My mom and Kent made snickerdoodle cookies for me! Even grandpa was helping get them out of the oven while Kent flipped them off the tray!
My son... I love him so much, and am so proud of him. He even caught his grandma today when she stumbled over some shoes... add hero to his list of talents/abilities. He is such a great son... can't say enough wonderful things about him- oh and he looks like me a little! As long as his dad isn't in the picture lol! Please ignore the 5 pound bags under my eyes- youch!
My cousin Kimmy and auntie Sharon stopped by my mom's while I was there. Always nice to see you Kimmy- you always make me laugh- even if you take the biggest- right out of the oven snickerdoodle I was trying to hide on the plate!
Can 2012 really almost be over??? Not before I try to convince my husband we need to go to the Japenese Steak House for dinner one more time! I need to recruit the kids in this effort.... Katie- over and out!!
