Wind & Rain

It's been a bit since I've blogged, so I suppose I should catch up a bit. John just wants to watch TV right now anyways. :P Lazy bum. ;)

Anyways, I got all kinds of cool things for Christmas. The fun part will be getting it to all fit in my suitcases though to fly back. John's mom cooked a fancy 5-course meal for Christmas dinner which was absolutely excellent. I was so stuffed afterwards though. Monday and Tuesday were fairly quiet. Just a bit of shopping and such. Then on Wednesday morning, bright and early, John and I headed for my grandparents' place. We got up there around noon and spent the afternoon with my grandparents, aunt, cousin, and my uncle was able to stop by too. We had a lot of fun playing Uno Attack. :D It's an interesting version of Uno with this thing that shoots Uno cards at you when you push a button. Quite amusing. After staying as long as we felt we could, we then headed towards the coast. John's parents had reserved some hotel rooms along the beach for the four of us. We got there a bit late the first night, but the sky was beautiful and perfectly clear. The next day was a bit rainy and windy, but not too bad until evening. So we went out on the beach a little bit with the dogs, then went and poked around a few shops and went and had dinner at a very nice restuarant. That evening the winds picked up to at least around 70 miles per hour. All night and this morning the winds were very strong. This morning we stopped for breakfast and then headed back here where we relaxed for a bit and then headed out for dinner. I-5 is closed south of Ashland right now, because of mudslides, so all the restuarants were very full, but we got a spot in a mexican place that was very good. I am going to be so entirely sick of eating out by the time I get back to Alaska though. Which is probably good, since I won't be able to afford to eat out much anyways. And it's no fun to go out to eat by myself anyways.

Well, that's the news so far. No idea really what we're doing for New Year's yet. I guess I'll find out soon. *shrug* Happy New Year!
