Lori and I took an opportunity to spend a remarkable weekend at Long Beach on the Washington coast.  We had not seen the sun in weeks so were really watching the coastal weather forecast for any positive signs, and we were not disappointed.  Beautiful sunsets, calm winds and mild sunny days.  What more could one ask for.

Here are just some of the way too many photos I took during our trip.  I hope you enjoy viewing them a tenth as much as I did in the taking.
