The Sea

We just got back from a wonderful three days in Seaside. I love the ocean, and I always feel so relaxed and refreshed spending time by the sea. My dad was raised in Astoria, so I guess I can say it's in my blood! Our God is so great to create something so magnificent and mysterious for us to enjoy. It was stormy, and we even had SNOW, but we also had a nice sun break today and were able to take the kids down to play before heading home. We enjoyed our time with my parents, staying in a simply adorable beach cottage with them.
My dad, Craig and I tried to dig for clams both days and between the three of us we managed to dig 12. A far cry from the 15/day/person limit, but enough for a batch of my dad's famous clam chowder. And.....best of all, we had fun diggin' 'em!
