Manzanita!

I really really really really wanted to take James to the coast. How can you fly across the country for the first and then not go all the way to the ocean? I also really really really wanted him to meet Barbara and Peter. How can you fly across the country and not meet Barbara and Peter? So in a crazy whirlwind (for all of us—Barbara had just come home from a 3-day retreat, and Peter actually delayed a flight to Mexico on our behalf) we all went to Manzanita for a few hours of negative ions, blue skies, rainbow kites, beached jellyfish, sandcastles, sand dunes, and friendly Oregonian ladies.  I love these people, and I love this ocean.
