I'm tan, I'm back, and I wish I was still boogie boarding in the coastal waters of Oregon.

We didn't have the best weather for the first few days, but then it started clearing up and we got some great weather for the last few days starting Thursday.

Got some color on these pasty legs of mine, played a bunch of cards -- I practically cleaned up at poker, watched some movies, did some shopping (outlets and no tax...how much better can it get?!), did some cooking, talking, driving nice cars, being a beach bum, boogie boarding, swimming in the ocean, played some DDR, caught snippets of the Olympics, there was some adult beverage consumption, walking along the sand, staying up late, did a little hot tubbing, bonding with the family, singing along to oldies in the car, Roni and Al got married for the 2nd time...and that's all I can recall as of the moment.

It was a pretty relaxing and not-so-relaxing week at the same time. But that's pretty much how all family vacations are.

I'm still a bit sore from boarding and getting a bit water logged though...but it was totally worth it.

And I'm spent.

Have to go to work tomorrow but I'll be watching the 2nd showing of the Closing Ceremonies, so that'll keep me up for awhile...we'll see how long I last.

Hope everyone had a great week! Thanks to Jeremy for providing me with some laughter today as I listened to his drunk vmail...
