Looking for Bigfoot

Spring break was a blast! We stayed home the first part of the week. I felt sick, slept, and Brian was a huge help in taking care of the kids. We spent Wednesday and Thursday morning cleaning up the house from our "vacation" days, and then we went on our official vacation!

We spent Thursday through Sunday in a vacation house on the beach in Newport, Oregon with Brian's parents. We've done something with them for the last few Spring Breaks, but this year it was also my birthday present, and it was so fun!

We walked on the beach and collected shells, went to Georgie's at the Hallmark Resort for dinner a couple of time (fabulous view of the ocean, wonderful sourdough bread with whipped butter, really yummy Alfredo pasta, and the absolute BEST creme brulet (sp?) in the ENTIRE world), walked through a few lighthouses, went to the Aquarium, flew kites on the beach, and completely missed conference.

We made sure the house had access to cable or satellite before we went, because we planned on watching conference, but we didn't find the paper on how to work the television channels until just before we left. So we'll be very interested in the Conference Issue of the Ensign when it comes out.

We had such a great time, and I think we're all exhausted from having so much fun. The kids are sick with colds and Ethan was cranky most of the way home, but he refused to go to sleep. Overall it wasn't a bad drive though. Whenever I drive through the forests of Western Washington or Northern Oregon I always look through the trees to see if I can find Bigfoot tromping through the brush. I haven't seen him yet, and most likely I never will, but it's sure fun to look.
