Vacation, had to get away...

We had a much-needed vacation to Long Beach. I know what you're thinking, the beach in November? Are you insane? Despite your misgivings it was none the less awesome...
During the all-too brief respites between angry Pacific storm fronts, we strolled the beach...
The peninsula has a great beachfront trail system...
Occasionally the weather was spectacular...
I discovered that beach art comes in many forms...
I don't really know why we're so drawn to the beach, we just are, we're not going to try and fight it...
It really is the World's longest beach, honestly, the Chamber of Commerce swears it is...
These seagull tracks are fresh...
A flock of Sandpiper followed us up the beach...
Feathered sentinels we should have heeded, they foreshadowed an intense squall that soaked us through...
Long Beach was amazing but now on to Depoe Bay...
High tide at Depoe Bay...
What can you say, but wow...
The room with one hell of a view...
The Oregon coast is actually more spectacular when the weather sucks...
A little, little park in Depoe Bay you'll miss if you're driving...
The Devil's Punch Bowl...
Whatchoo lookin at?
Intrepid November surfers on Beverly beach...
Something tells me they're not as cute and cuddly as they appear...
Great trip, it's too bad we have to return to that other, shall we say, less tranquil reality...
