Weekend Getaway

This past weekend was our annual President's Day getaway. We went with a group of our good friends down to Pacific Beach and rented a house where we were able to relax, read, watch movies and walk along the beach. The house we rented was very nice, but in kind of an odd area. The "town" of pacific beach (if you can call it that) is a sad little place that makes Ocean Shores look like the big city. With that background know that where we stayed, in the man made village of Seabrook, consisted of $800,000 homes for sale mixed with rental properties. It was a pretty drastic difference between economic classes to say the least. Here is an example of what you see in Seabrook:





And here is what you see in the town of Pacific Beach:



I like this photo best of us with the beautiful painting above my shoulder.



We were able to go the annual Chocolate Festival which was more church bake sale than festival, but still fun.







The best part of course was hanging out and walking along the beach. We had a lot of fun stomping on shells. We felt it was our duty to help others from the temptation of making little seashell people, dogs, bird houses, etc.







Did I mention it was cold?






Of course we missed our Mathletes, but they had bigger and better things going on in their lives. (photo stolen from their blog)



We had a really great time and can't wait until next year to do it all over again!
