Well... We have survived yet
another week! This week was spent in
Florence Oregon at a Thousand Trails campsite.
The site we are camping at is surrounded by trees, very shady, and at
the moment, the only thing illuminating my laptop is a small beam of sun light
coming through our sunroof. Apart from the
cave-like features of our site, the campgrounds are a very pretty place. It has a great activity center with a very
clean out-door pool and hot tub along with a pool table and a TV inside. Once you get out of the park, you can either
take a left; to go to the sand dunes/beach, or a right; to go downtown. On Tuesday we chose to go to the dunes in
attempt to find the beach. We found it
alright... along with 100 mph wind (kind of exaggerating there). But no joke, that was the most powerful wind I
think any of us have ever felt! Besides
the wind, we were rewarded with some shells we found along the beach. We were thankful to return to our ‘house’
after that experience. That night we all enjoyed a camp fire, provided by Dad
and Avery’s wood scavenging efforts, along with some marshmallows.
On Wednesday
we decided to take a right. After holding our breath over the bridge, we arrived downtown. Mom had a chiropractor appointment within the
hour, so we walked in and around some of the shops near the Chiro’s
office. Most of the places were either clothes or antiques shops, so we ended up not browsing very long. We were all getting kind of hungry by that
time, so we chose to eat at an eatery called Maple Street Grille. As soon as we ordered, we all split up. While
Dad and Avery were waiting for the food to come out, Mom went to her appointment,
and I left to go check out a comic book store.
I had never been to a comic book store before, surprisingly, so I was occupied
for quite some time. I only got scared
by a cardboard cutout once. When we
all joined back up, we had some ribs and some other decent food, then went
for a walk. That walk just happened to
end up at an Icecream shop. We all appreciated
some icecream from BJ’s Icecream and Taffy shop. Once we had all consumed our treats, we
climbed into the truck and drove back ‘home’.
But as we were driving by the activity center, Dad decided to stop and we
all got out and played a game of pool. Then we went ‘home’ to our beds J
