We just barely got back from our trip to the UK, and before I knew it we were off again to the the Oregon coast for our yearly trip to celebrate Nicole’s birthday!  Most of our trip was spent relaxing, drinking, and playing games which was absolutely the most perfect way to spent a stormy weekend.  But while the stormy clouds briefly parted, I ran out to do my other favorite thing…drool at the beautiful beach houses!

I’ve opted not to do captions for each photos…for your sake.  Each caption would be “Oh my gosh, this one is beautiful!” “I love this one!” “Isn’t that gorgeous!” “I want a house like that!” That’s pretty much all I said to Jesse as we walked down the narrow streets.  He was a good sport and just kept replying “yeah, that’s pretty.”

So I will just cover all the houses by saying, I love them all!  They are beautiful and gorgeous, and I dream of having a grey cedar shingled house with hydrangeas and a big porch!

Ah!  Hydrangeas!  

And for a few beach shots!  Lucy had a great time at the beach, although she didn’t seem to notice that it was considerably colder than the last time she was at the beach and swimming was not happening.   We basically ran interference.  You can see in the second picture, she was not thrilled about that. It was a wonderful weekend!  And now we are back and re-grouping.  And I am back to work on my long list of projects!   I have one just almost complete and ready to post!

Have a great week!
