so, of course, she made it to and from virginia with no incidents, just tons of fun and turbulance on the plane. and so come the day of our fun, we did indeed decide to go to the beach.
what an ingenious idea!!!!
we had a blast! we went to seaside, got us a cheap little kite, and her konnor and i went out to the beach. for some reason konnor was very grumpy while beachcombing at seaside (it was about 60, if you can believe that!). he was terrified of the kite and didnt want to be around the seagulls as jenny fed them. they were crazy seagulls, too!!! haha..
we got bored of seaside (nothing going on worthwhile) and drove up a little bit to gearhart (where you can drive on the beach). well, pretty much we wanted to drive on the beach and get to the ship wreck about 2 miles up. so anyways, we are drivin along on the beach, and looking for whole shells, beacuse no one looks for shells there -- too many cars. so i think i see this big shell, and stop. i realize its broken, swear under my breath, and walk back to the car. something little and black catches my eye, and i realize its one of those orange and black catepillars. heading straight for the ocean!! so, of course, being the compassionate human i am, and not wanting him eaten by a flock of seagulls, i scoop him up and take him to the car.
jenny and i named him F (for fuzzy). full name: F-Unit!! lol! we took pics of our new-found friend and found a shell for him. he rode with us the rest of the way to the ship wreck. konnor, jenny, and myself parked about 100 yards from it, making sure we were parked far enough away from the water so that my car wouldnt be wisked away by the rising tide, and headed for the remains.
after taking pics, konnor and i played ring around the rosie around a rusty piece of the ship (with no shoes-haha-i know). about 10 minutes of that and i was feeling really woozy, so i moved out of his way and let him continue on his journey. i took about 20 steps away, and took a couple pics of him and jenny. a few seconds later, a rather large wave crashed about 50 yards away and i knew that it was coming in more than Konnor would have liked. I knew it wasn't enough to do damage, but when it came in, it caught jenny off guard, who had her back turned to the ocean (duh ralph!!!) and came up about 6 inches on konnor (who started to panick).. i ran up, laughing, and picked him up and took him to safety. he wasn't happy. meanwhile, there was a baby in a car seat who's grandma was running with the child, trying to reach safety, while the infant's parents laughed, walking away from the wave.
it was at that time that we decided it was time to go before the tide caught up with my car. when we got to my car, however, we discovered something missing. you may have guessed it alright....
F-Unit
Oh boy, did Jenny freak. lol i dont understand what is so creepy about a catepillar running around somewhere in my car, but she was NOT having it. lol. about 5 minutes later, i came across the little critter, running around under Jenny's seat. We put him back in his shell house and off we went.
yeah, that was pretty much the extent of our day. we went home, had some dinner at Jenny's FAVORITE place, La Carreta, and slept well that night for sure!!!
pix to come, i hope :)
