Since car trips get really long when you have to stop every 1.5 hr or so, we opted to go to the Oregon Coast for our anniversary this year. Last year, we enjoyed Bainbridge Island for our anniversary and it was 100 degrees the day we went to the beach. This year, it was a glorious 65-70 degrees, sunny and absolutely gorgeous as well. We enjoyed a little house down by Waldport and spend most of our Saturday putzing around Newport. The Aquarium had a very interesting Oddwater exhibit. We were both pretty enthralled by the 40 lb. Japanese Spider Crabs. They were nearly 2.5' tall!! Our dinner out was not exactly a quiet, romantic dinner. Not realizing where the restaurant was on the water front, we happened to pick the restaurant right next to the old wharf docks where dozens of sea lions sun bath. For those of you who haven't had the joy: they're large, loud (make noises that sounds mostly like barks or farts), stinky, etc. Much of the dinner conversation was centered on the entertainment of a great white entering the harbor to consume the seals or if the federal protection ban on hunting the seals was lifted. :D We were also thoroughly entertained to find out that our "water dog" who will jump into any river and lake... is afraid of the ocean waves. LOL

Lovely belly! Sounds like you had a nice weekend, we were very busy but it was nice in Marshfield.
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary! Am so glad that you could get away for the weekend--even a close getaway is nice. Again --you look so cute pregnant although by now I suppose you are uncomforatble. It's getting closer----and am anxious for you both!
ReplyDeleteLove Ya,
Glad to hear you had a "cooler" anniversary celebration even if there wasn't a romatic dinner. Heres wishing you a Happy Anniversary (without children) and many more even happier ones with children! I know we were blessed with two wonderful children, now two wonderful in-law children, and soon to be three amazing grandchildren. See you in a couple days, Love Mom
ReplyDeleteWait, Aubrey is not having 3 grandchildren for us all at once; Malcolm & Christine have 2 beautiful girls and Aubrey & Steven's baby will make 3 grandchildren. LOL
