Coastal Weekend

So, it was time for the Annual Guys Weekend at the Dunes. Dad and Eric took off on Wednesday leaving the women at home. Sounds kind of sexist, doesn't it. It's not, really. A little space can be a good thing. Rainy Oregon outings can be miserable so we waited to make any definite "girl plans" until closer to the weekend. Last year we went to Portland. This year, we headed to the Coast for an overnight.

So, Saturday dawned chilly and a bit wet with hopes for showers and patchy sun. We (Mom, Sis, Auntie & I) set off to Lincoln City and spent the day shopping at the outlet mall. I made a few spring/summer purchases to spark up my wardrobe. Now, if only the weather would cooperate so I can wear them! We ate dinner at Mo's. Love the clam chowder, then headed on into Newport where we spent the night. Sunday was more shopping. We wandered Old Town and lunched at Rogue Ales before heading eastwardly for home. It was really great to get away for a couple days.
