Long Beach Weekend March 3-5, 2006
Monday, March 13th, 2006So we just passed our 3 years together which is quite an achievement in both of our sketchy relationship pasts. So we decided to take a trip to Long Beach, which is about 3 ½ hours from Seattle (very close to the Oregon border) for the weekend to celebrate. And to relax and get out of town!
Long Beach is, well, long. It’s a really skinny peninsula that sits next to the Pacific. We stayed at this place called Lighthouse Oceanfront Resort about halfway down the peninsula. Apparently “resort” is quite a loosely used term since there were just a bunch of cottages and townhouses with no amenities except for the beach access. There was a completely amazing view from our unit. We got there around lunchtime and had a quick bite and then jetted over to the south end of the peninsula to see the 2 lighthouses there. John is obsessed with lighthouses. We went to the first one we came to which was the North Head lighthouse. It was so cool because there were seals out in the water by the lighthouse. You could also go to the top of the lighthouse, but I was perfectly content just to hang out outside. John went and chatted it up with the woman inside and found out you could stay in one of the houses right there – that would be so cool.
