Newport

I'm home (sweet home!) again from my happy-birthday-to-Anne weekend at the seashore. It went off without a hitch, and I'm so glad she was able to have a proper celebration. A birthday just screams for a great, big to-do, no matter the number; I endorse this fact very enthusiastically.

I didn't take my customary 700 pictures, and I suspect this is because we spent 95% of our time either eating or shopping. It also occurs to me that I have spent two weekends at the Oregon Coast over the past several years, and neither of them have involved my husband. We will fix this egregious mistake sometime in 2012!
