winter vacation

December 6 was our 7th anniversary of being together, and I had just completed the Fall quarter the previous Thursday, so we decided to go away for the weekend. We booked a cottage in Long Beach, Wa, right on the beach and spent the weekend in the area, going to Cape Disappointment, Lewis and Clark Interpretive Center (highly recommended), Fort Columbia, a few lighthouses, Astoria, Seaside, and Canon Beach. I highly recommend going in the winter. There were no crowds, the weather was really nice, and we felt like we had the whole beach to ourselves! Very neat. :D Oh yes, we took Harley, and are pretty sure that it was his first trip to the ocean. He loved it! So, here are a few pictures from the trip!

Also, today is Johnny's 24th birthday! Last night we made a chocolate cake from scratch and tonight we're going to The Ram tonight for dinner with friends. I got him an espresso machine, coffee bean grinder and a mug from the Burke Museum's upcoming exhibit on coffee, and family got him a UW travel mug and a bag of Tully's coffee beans. :)
