Lincoln City Beach Weekend

For Mothers Day Spencer got me a beach getaway with my sisters. Generally my motto is "low expectations is the key to happiness", and this weekend proved my motto to be worthy of being repeated. I was expecting just a quiet weekend with lots of sleep and relaxation and to maybe stop at the outlets. However, thanks to some enthusiasm from Holly and Kiran, this weekend was the most fun I have had in a long long time. It included many restaurants, shops, walks on the beach, cafes, fudge, uno, the outlet stores and the movie Star Trek. Good times.

We started the weekend off with lunch at Sage Cafe in McMinville, OR. It was awesome.



We went to several little boutiques and shops and bought jewelery and accessories.

One of the boutiques where I got 2 necklaces.

Where we stopped for a little ice-cream, I got the no sugar added, low-fat cherry. It was divine.

This is a little cafe with live music in Lincoln City. It was across the street from our beach house. Here we are getting smoothies and tea for breakfast.

This is me smelling the coffee. Yes, in spite of the fact that I don't drink it, I love the smell.

We asked a nice stranger to take a photo of all three of us. I love nice strangers.

Me, I wish I had a tan. I think it would make me look 5 years younger (in the short term)

Holly and I had an Uno championship. In spite of what she says, I won.
