Three Days at the Beach

Grayland, 2/14-2/16/09

Every once in a while we get the chance to spend the weekend at the beach in Michael's boss' cabin near Grayland. We were extremely fortunate to get the cabin for a romantic Valentine's Weekend this year, so we packed up the dogs and went to enjoy three days at the beach.

We slept, walked on the beach, got up early for sunrise, had a romantic dinner in Westport, watched the crabbers at Tokeland, toured the cranberry bogs and generally had a relaxing weekend. Except for one slight problem. Michael's allergies reared their ugly congestion and plugged up not only his nose but his lungs as well. Saturday night, our romantic Valentine's night, was interrupted with a trip to Hoqium and the emergency room there.

But all was well after they hooked Michael up to some oxygen and monitored his oxygen levels for a little over an hour. They found no evidence of pneumonia and gave him some antibiotics to fight any infections.

The rest of the weekend went back to the schedule above - sleeping, relaxing and sleeping some more.
