Road Trip

A personal story in the experience: I Want the Story About Your Avatar
 I went on a road trip to the Oregon Coast with a couple of my girl friends.  It was a fairly stormy day--lots of wind and rain. 

We'd gone down to the beach to explore for a bit around the lighthouse (I can't remember which one.)  It was a long hike down to the beach and back.  When we got back to the car, we were soaked and wind-blown, so we got in the car and snapped a picture.  I was in the middle, in the back seat.  My avatar is a portion of that picture that I've clipped out.  I still have the original with all three of us in it, though.  

That was a good day.

No, we were in an area that had a paved path that was roped off. We just stuck to the path. I think, next time I go, I might be a bit more adventurous. But the last two times I've gone, it's stormed like a mother. I want to be adventurous, but not to the point of getting swept out to sea. That happens a lot out there. I remember a story on the news when I was there back in November--a man's fiance got caught by a sneaker wave. As stormy and cold as it was, there was no way she could have survived. It's really sad when that happens. That's why they say, "Never turn your back to the ocean."

That is a nice avatar and a fun story behind it, SOUL. You look very pretty.
For a while my avatar was a pomeranian dog but once I discovered how to change it, I change my avatar frequently according to my moods ( my many moods ). Lately I have been working loooong hours , so I am really tired and I would love to be able to take a nice long nap just like the cute kitten in my current avatar.

Wow, it's amazing you all made it out okay. The surf can be really dangerous in some of those areas.

Thanks, UC and SG, it's one of the few pictures of me that I actually like. *blush*

Haha, you're kitty looks about how I feel right now, too. It's so cute. Your avatars always make me smile, UC. :-)

It is a lovely pic Soul and the story makes it even better. It is kind of like Antiques Roadshow when they give the whole story behind the object. That is the best part.

Heehee, well, I think most of my makeup was still intact. And that was one of those rare times when my skin was pretty much clear...
