A blessing in disguise.

Well, there was a minor mix up with the trip out west. It was all set to go for the 3rd but the cheapest ticket purchased 3 weeks ago was on the 6th at $250 cheaper. So I went with it. It was at the wrong day since Ryan leaves on the 6th early for a collection trip. Wont be back until the 9th. So i booked a room for those days at discount(thanks to the employee discount by my wife) That leaves me alone for 2 days in stone heaven!!
So what am I putting together? I am set to see the Pacific for the first time in my life at Cannon Beach Oregon. Cold or not, my feet are going into the Pacific! That will be the first day. The second day will be spent heading slightly east of Portland to Bend. That's where I will be taking in the scenery and collecting stones. After that, he will pick me up and WORK begins in St. Helens, Oregon. I am looking forward to this getting underway big time! I will try to keep you all posted but that's up to Ryan whether he wants me to post pics of his nursery or not. I will respect what he says but you can count that I am posting all day at the pacific coast and the riverbanks of Bend. I may start doing these trips more regularly if its feastible!
