We spent the weekend in Lincoln City. We were asked by someone at City Hall there if we would be willing to come there as their guests, to help assess accessibility in their town. So we did! The coast has generally not been our first choice for places to go – other than quick trips to the aquarium. See, beaches are not really that great for wheelchair users. The sand is nearly impossible to maneuver in – plus it works its way into the wheels and bearings ... and that's an awful mess in more ways than one. We rented this great house a few years ago (and actually the owner of this house is now our house mate as she's in graduate school here).
Anyway. There was a short list of places to go and things to do – and we were happy to do them. The weather could not have been more perfect – 60s and sunny which is hard to beat anywhere, but especially at the Oregon Coast.
We went for a few walks on accessible trails, bought and flew a kite (on a beach we could drive right on to – although we still had to have Liam use his stander instead of his Snappie), ate out, slept in.
It was a great weekend. Liam missed school on Monday – but I figured, why not? It was so worth it.
And, to end that long weekend just right – we got Liam a kitten! I guess this weekend might be kind of dull in comparison, right?
