Speedy Niamh: December 2008

A four day weekend is always a good excuse to do something fun. I decided it was a very good time to hang out with friends. I made dinner for Liz and Dori the evening of Thanksgiving, which was a lot of fun. Dori and I headed to Waldport the following day. We rented an adorable little house right on the beach with a great view! Our goal was to get away, sleep in, and relax. Mission accomplished!

We took a few nice long walks along the beach. The dogs had a great time running around. Poor Flash was chased down by Niamh each time he moved. (He then got revenge by running circles around her back in the house while she was trying to sleep.) We also spent some time exploring the Cape Perpetua area. There are a lot of nice hiking trails. However, we stuck to our mission of taking it easy, so we walked a few of the shorter trails. We took in amazing ocean views and enjoyed the sun. Yes, sun in Oregon in November!! (Proof that miracles do happen.) In the evenings, we spent lots of time chatting and catching up. We also brought some of our favorite foods and really good wine. It was an excellent weekend!
