Our second morning began with hotel hot continental breakfast. Which is one of my faves!!! Maybe it is because as a child we rarely got to do anything for breakfast so when we had all those options it was the BEST. We then drove to a local fish market so we could get crab and oysters for the rest of the family. I decided to be brave and go in and look. Everyone said it was really cool because they had so many different live crab, lobster, fish, etc. I found it disgusting. I cannot stand the smell of fish!!!! OMG it was horrible. I'm glad everyone else enjoyed it, but it took all my mind power to hold back my glorious breakfast. After a few more hours of driving we arrived in Manzanita. The ocean view here is amazing. The temperature here was cool and the waves were roaring (which is quite unusual). We eventually got the keys to our home. It is a three level home with an ocean view. Bottom level is the garage, a bathroom with stand up shower and massive sink for feet washing. Second level has three bedrooms, a reading space, nice big bathroom, and a play room (has a pool table and entertainment center). Top floor has a spacious kitchen, small bathroom, dining space, tv space, and a cast iron stove. Dan and I were moved out of our original room to accommodate some other family members, but our current room has the BEST bed in the house. Super comfortable. We have the only bedroom without a full on ocean view, but it is still a really nice room. We spent the rest of the day getting situated and Gregg went grocery shopping. Since grocery shopping took awhile (due to the store being sooooo far away and needing a ton of groceries) we had pizza for dinner. I decided to go on a walk/jog for a little bit of a workout that night. Unfortunately, the beach had no lighting so I chose to go around the neighborhood. I ended up getting very lost. It is really dark out here and the street lamps are just enough to light up a little bit of the street. I was totally afraid but couldn't text Dan to let him know since I didn't want my pride damaged. As I was leaving I had to do a lot of convincing to let him know I would be just fine and that I wouldn't get in trouble. Oops! As I was roaming around trying to find my way something crossed my path. It was a goat!!! What the heck! No one taught me how to handle a goat encounter! I was prepared for elk, moose, even bear, but a goat?!?! I stood very still and held my breath. It ran away. Whew! Eventually I found the house but only after standing under lots of street signs with my cellphone held up to them so I could see what they said. Afterwards all the younger peeps stayed up until 1 a.m. playing video games. Then it was off to bed. I do have some pics of the house I might post later. lol
