Mei Mei

Yesterday was a beautiful day at the coast. We visited The cheese factory and two beaches. I'm whipped. This vacationing stuff is hard work. You have to keep in mind that you earn your trip to the beach here. It involves a hike before arrival to a stunningly beautiful location. The baby stunned us all by running toward the ocean at every chance and you need to know that the water is about the temperature of Lake Huron right now - Very Cold! It didn't bother him at all. In fact, his chin was chattering as he cried to go back in the water again. Finn also got totally wet and had a great time jumping in the waves. He told us the water is fine once you get used to it. Although he did ask for the heat to be put on in the car on the way home from the beach. Conn got wet too, but his focus was more on the fact that there were tons of mussels attached to the rocks. In fact, we have two accompanying us for the ride home. Heather and Nan had fun walking around taking photographs and chatting. I sleep well at night.

 Oh, by the way, we have broken some record for nice days in a row without rain. It has not rained since we got here and it is predicted to rain the day we leave. I think this trip was supposed to happen for us. Tomorrow, we depart early in the morning and head for a comfort inn in Boise, Idaho.

Smart, creative, brave... So incredibly lucky she is my friend

Best day!

Went to the beach with Heath, man, what a great day! The kids ran up and down the edge of the ocean. Finn and Sage loved getting in the icy waves. Sage's poor lips were chattering and he would be reaching to the ocean "more".

New camera toys

Heathy taught me how to play with the pics on my phone- yay... I am pretty excited. So you will be getting hipster photos for a spell, apologies.

Today we got some Sizzle Pie pizza and hung out with Kim and Alaina What a cutie! So many bebes here in Portland!

Front gardens

I have to admit I am a little homesick today. So Sage and I went for an evening walk to look at front gardens here in the NE. Love. I think I want to make a little PDX garden at home, so I'll be throwing in some garden shots. Not sure whether it helped homesickness, but it helped me appreciate where I am right now.
