It's Photo-rific!

So, it's been a few weeks, but I'm finally getting around to sharing some of the photos we took on our trip down to Long Beach, Washington... and as an added bonus, I'm throwing in pics of the other cool thing that happened a few weeks ago. I compressed the photos and trimmed some of them, so they're not as majorly huge as they once were, but they're still not likely to be dialup friendly (don't worry, I'm sticking them all behind cuts!)

About a month or so ago, someone offered a piano out on Freecycle. It's not as unusual as you might think... since a lot of people will simply want the piano gone and not want to deal with trying to sell it. So, they're free if you can come haul them away. We happened to be the lucky recepients of this latest offer (and I can't begin to tell you how shocked I was that we actually got this piano... I'm still just a little surprised by the whole thing).

( Behind the cut is a pic of our (free!!) 1909 Upright Grand Piano -- ours for the price of a U-Haul truck and bribing friends to help us. )

( And now, for some pics of our trip to the beach! )
