Funland

VENTURING OUT: I'm still playing catch up on our little last-minute trip last week to the Oregon Coast. While there, we mostly worked at the place we were staying, but we did venture out a time or two, including (gasp) going to a public place for fun. That is such a sad rarity during the pandemic.

We decided to check out Funland, a longtime arcade in Seaside, to see if it looked safe enough to visit. Fortunately, on a Wednesday afternoon during a stormy February, the place was a ghost town - less crowded than the average early morning grocery runs we make these days. So the kids each got a $20 game card and had some fun.

It was great to be doing something recreational for a change. 

CJ took a few goes at Mario Kart. Do you recognize the eyes behind the funny nose and moustache?

He managed to battle his way into first place!

On our second-to-last day, we finally got some blue skies instead of sideways sheets of rain. Here's a shot of the backside of the house. You can see CJ in silhouette in the window third from the left on the middle floor.

A shot through the porthole window on our last night there. You can see an American flag waving in the distance. 

It was nice to get away, but now it's back home to all our projects here.
