Halfversary

Since we can never get away in October we opted to spend our 15th half anniversary back where it started, at the Sandtrap in Gearhart. It's now a full inn, with cozy little rooms. It was a lovely 3-day visit at the beach over Memorial Day. 

Part of our adventure included a stop at Fort Stevens. We walked towards the south jetty, past all the throngs of tourists and into a lovely afternoon. We found a baby seal on the beach that had flopped quite a ways from where it was left by its mother. We called Keith (marine mammal stranding network etc...) and he pointed out high tide was coming. So we spent a while ringing the seal with standing driftwood so a car on the beach would not hit it and wrote a message in the sand so tourists would not freak out and call authorities.
