Survival Tip #1: When The Weather is Getting You Down, Take a Vacation
This weekend the Corley women celebrated Louisa's upcoming 18th birthday by escaping to our favorite ocean getaway: Pacific City, OR. It is a long, five hour drive out to the coast, but when we get there we always settle in right away. We stay at a rental home owned by one of June's coworkers that is the perfect size for all of us. We first started going the weekend after my sister Chelsea's wedding, (August, 2009), and haven't been able to stop finding reasons to go back. After the initial August trip with the whole family we returned in November for Emily's graduation trip, and then the whole family went again in April for Emily's birthday. Pacific City is a slow place to take a vacation; just a few shops and restaurants, one espresso place and a HUGE dune. We did not climb it this trip because it rained the whole time, but it is a staple of each visit.
I was so sad when I realized that I had left my camera at home, but we basically just relaxed the whole time so there wasn't too much to photograph. We got coffee, watched movies, and made fleece blankets... and I struggled to write a paper. The trip was much too short but it was worth it to spend time with the women I love so much!
Here are a few pics from previous trips to give you a feel for it:
