Ruby Beach get away

Well, I didn't get everything done, but I did get enough done that I am ok with it.

We had an awesome get away to a bed and breakfast called Eden by the sea.  They served a 3 course breafast, something I have never had before.  That is a lot of food, and with the band Bob ended up eating most of it.  There is a reason why he has gotten more overweight since I got my band, he doesn't want to waste food!  Oh well, I just need to order less. The place we stayed was elegant and peaceful with beautiful views, I couldn't have asked for a better romantic get away.

I made a bad call on the way home, I decided I wanted to see the ocean, specifically Ruby beach, which Bob loves and is always talking about.  I wasn't counting on the snow.  It was so cold and snowy at the beach that we pretty much just walked out and took pictures and got back in the car, but it is a gorgeous beach, with lots of rocks that look like skipping rocks.  In fact all of the rocks looked like skipping rocks.  We were able to check out a couple tide pools, but when it is cold and snowing there isn't much more to see than a few sea anemone (I am sure I spelled that wrong).  We also drove through the town of Forks where the twilight books are set, but not one frame has ever been filmed there.  It still attracts lots of tourists, kind of strange.... The drive home took what seemed like forever.  We were driving through the rainforest while it was snowing,  beautiful pictures, but a little stressful driving. 

Oh well, I did get to see my ocean, which is always awe inspiring, the power is incredible, even when it is snowing.  One of the pictures is kind of cool, it looks like I am walking on water, which, for the record I know I cannot do:)  I will try to post some of those pitures for you. 

Tommorrow is back to the grind, school starts again, and I work a lot this week.....can you tell I am really excited about that?
