babymoon

So, a couple weekends ago we took a "babymoon," which is like a little honeymoon you have before your baby is born- to celebrate your last time of just the two of you for....ever. Whoah sounds intense when I say it like that :) Thanks for the idea, Lauren!

It was so lovely to get away to the coast (in Oregon the beach is called the coast because you don't actually go lay on the beach in your bikini like the east coast- but sit on the sand for a while all wrapped up in a blanket admiring the coast). But there is still the salt air and the cute towns aplenty and kids eating ice cream. We went to Cannon Beach and stayed at a place right on the beach- thanks to Eric's cousin Kyleigh who works there.

There is a really wonderful used bookstore there, where we found a book from the fifties entitled "What to Name the Baby" in pink letters on a worn blue hardback cover. Mom, if you thought I was thinking of weird names before-watch out! We had a fabulous dinner at JP's- where they actually had a gluten-free menu. Mmmm... hazelnut encrusted halibut with a raspberry creme sauce. And, get this- the sun was out- for two whole days! I am not joking- yes sun, at the Oregon coast, in March. Unfortunately I forgot my camera and so cannot show proof :(
