Mama's Birthday

My birthday was on Saturday, so I decided that I wanted to spend it with my favorite people at my favorite place~the lovely Oregon Coast.
One of my favorite parts of the weekend was Nate's new look. We stopped at the Gap Outlet on the way to Newport, and found this fine looking hat for Nate. He wore it with pride and got 18 compliments on it from all sorts of people. He is also taking a liking to 'button shirts' so he really was extra fashionable all weekend long. I love this boy.
We stayed at the Elizabeth Street Inn. The biggest priority for our family when looking for lodging is whether or not there is a pool. This pool was great...and a hot tub to boot! The boys made 3 trips to the pool. Since it was my birthday, I had the option of sitting out. Which I took complete advantage of.
Dinner was at the Rogue Brewery. It's a fun spot right on the water underneath the bridge in Newport.
Lots of pretty bottles all displayed neatly in a row. How about the artistic flair to this picture? Dan got me a really nice new camera as a birthday gift.
Chris and Nate at the Yaquina Bay Lighthouse.
Christopher looking for whales. No luck.
Mama and her boys.
We swung by grandma and grandpa's house on the way home from the beach to get my birthday present from them, and were treated to some lazy-daisy oatmeal cake and some chowder.
44 isn't so bad.....I'm truly thankful for another year.
