Anniversaries Rock

This past week SurferDude & I celebrated our 2nd anniversary by taking his first vacation day since we arrived here. We left Sunday evening after a 10 hour day at church and drove over to the coast to an amazing bed and breakfast at Ocean Shores. It was right on the beach, and was incredible. We will definitely be going back! In spite of the rain we experienced we had a great time driving around, exploring beaches (including driving on the beach, which you can do here, which I'd never done!), enjoying some delicious food, and just escaping life in the city. SurferDude bought his new wet suit, with the thickness that will allow him to be in the frigid Washington water, and we tried really hard to find him some good waves to ride, but the tides and weather weren't very cooperative. But at least he's prepared for next time!
Here are some photos from our adventure.
