A perfect weekend

We got up early on Saturday and stopped for coffee on the way to pick up our rental car (A Mercury Milan, which we gave 4 stars!) and drove through sun and rain with a couple stops to browse the antique stores and outlet mall until we ended up here:

The weather at the coast was gorgeous and we didn't even need jackets. The waves were huge and fun to watch come crashing to shore. As usual, there were seagulls aplenty:

and we were ready for adventure!

We made our way into Newport, where we stumbled into our good pal, Chris.

After a couple beers, we went back to the hotel to settle into our room, John hopped in the pool, and we got ready to head out for dinner...

And inevitably, a trip back across the bridge to the brewery for the evening..

We did stop to watch the gorgeous sunset...

We hung out at the Rogue with Chris until the lovely Sam was done working and then the 4 of us took off for a night of Karaoke. We've done this before and as usual, it was epic. Epically bad if you were one of the poor souls who had to hear us sing....

The next morning we walked out along the shore to enjoy the nice weather.

We explored the rocky terrain and watched a couple boats head to sea for the day.

We stopped for some lunch and a beer and took a whale watching trip before heading back home. We saw plenty of whales but as usual, the boat ride is definitely the highlight of that adventure.

Even though John had a huge allergy attack on the way, we had a nice drive back to Portland and a lovely evening tucked in back at home. Bliss.

Happy Hour!

In honor of a bunch of closely timed birthdays, we did a work happy hour on Friday...  The latest photo for the Charlie's Angels wall..

This side of the table = photo pros.

This side of the table = not photo pros....

totally cute though.

At the next bar, these guys showed up.  Shots for being late.

group shot.  Shortly after this, we smartly headed home for some Kinect bowling and packing for a weekend of adventure.  Stay tuned!

Fashion Friday

I have been wanting to try the brown and gray combo for a while and thought I better do it before I switched to brighter spring colors.  The disarray that is the current state of our backyard turned out to be a perfect backdrop! I love these thick gray tights and this color combo will definitely repeat itself once fall comes back around.. Until then, I'm ready for some spring, and some color, both in my clothes and my poor, sun starved skin!

       

Happy Friday!

Somthing awesome

I was famous on the internet yesterday...

Appreciation

This is my week between the March Body Blitz and the April Body Blitz. I am taking it easy and minimizing my workouts so that I am ready to start next week with gusto! I wanted to remember how awesome I felt after each class so after the final class last week I snapped this sweaty, flushed face, smiling shot. Thank you, body, for doing all of the crazy things I ask of you.
