Thanks to some wonderful friends, DH and I are spending a long weekend at Cannon Beach, Oregon. It has been an amazing vacation so far.
Things started out a little bit familiar. DH was on his laptop, trying to work. Andrew and Buster had no patience for this!
We spent the afternoon in Seaside, spending a silly amount of money at the arcade.
This was my pitiful Skee-Ball score.
When we got home, we headed to the beach and built a bonfire. Amazingly, a sea lion was giving birth right nearby. We never actually saw the pup come, but there was a lot of agitation and protective barking happening!
DH got to cross something off his bucket list - roasting a steak on a stick over an open fire, then eating said steak directly off said stick. Yes ladies and gentlemen - I married King Cave Man. :)
Today, we went to Astoria and visited the Fort George Brew House. I loved the building it was housed in - look at those windows. Drool. I also loved the glasses that the beer was served in. Everything is so much cuter in a jelly jar. I'm drinking everything out of them from now on.
While the men folk enjoyed some quality time at the brewery, I managed to track down a fabric store. I found some seriously good deals!
This rainbow seer-sucker transports me straight back to my childhood.
I also love the print on this toille I found. How cute would this be on a baby blanket?
All told, I got roughly 11 yards of fabric for around $25. Oregon, I love you and your lack of sales tax!
What a wonderful trip!! I love Oregon and our goal is to eventually move there. I do believe it would be a shock to our systems considering we have lived in Las Vegas and Phoenix for about 15 years.
ReplyDeleteThat beach picture is awesome. I am sorry I missed out on the Astoria trip - looked fun :)
