Ocean to Desert, She Wrote


The title might not make sense unless you are a fan of the 80s murder mystery series, Murder, She Wrote. I am a fan and today we visited the town that is Cabot Cove, Maine on the TV series. The picture of me is in front of the main character's, Jessica's, house. We also visited a couple other sites from the TV show. It was weird how recognizable the town was. Then we were looking for a nice beach to put our feet in the Pacific. The clerk at the hotel recommended Glass Beach to look for sea glass. Alexa loves sea glass so she loved the beach. The boys like throwing rocks in the water so they loved the beach. John & I were looking for a sand beach and it wasn't that exactly. We shouldn't be surprised, the entire coast is rocky. You had to scale down a steep dirt path to get there. You could feel the cold air blowing in off the ocean. It was a scenic spot, but nothing like a Florida beach. John has had mini golf rematch on his mind so today we settled the score. He beat me by 8 strokes - I had awful luck. But, if you're keeping track, I am still 1 stroke ahead. We have 1 more mini golf opportunity on this trip and it will be winner take all. The kids are really getting better too. Alexa was only 3 strokes behind me. We had a fun morning, but we had the road ahead of us to get to Sparks (in the Reno area).  I think of the 5 hour trip, we spent 4.5 hours on windy twisty mountain roads. They're pretty and scenic during the day, but I am not a fan at night so we were glad to arrive. Now we are settled into our suite, where we will be for 3 nights. We are looking forward to not setting the alarm in the morning! We'll keep you posted. 
Note: 2nd floor - still no luggage carts,no elevator but wonderful AC!!
