Weekending: Memorial Day Recap

This weekend was such a blast! I was able to go and visit one of my best friends who is going to school down in Oregon. I left on Friday morning and headed south. The drive was only supposed to take under 4 hours but it took a little over 5. I was exhausted when I got there, but I didn't let that stop us.

We started with a trip to the mall, followed by a trip to fro yo, typical girls!

 On Saturday we got up early and headed to the ocean! It wasn't the prettiest day, but it ended up being okay. We walked around a little bit and looked at the cute shops. I don't care what the weather is...I love the beach, sun, and sand.


We went out to dinner at a cute little Brewery and then got two movies from Redbox. We went with one fun and one more serious. I really liked Big Hero 6 and Wild was a little different from what I expected but it was still worth watching. 



On Sunday we went and got pedicures! We also went to see Pitch Perfect 2! I enjoyed it but I also thought that there was some unnecessary vulgarity and sexual content. Maybe I'm just getting old and more prude but I didn't think ti was necessary for the movie. The story was cute, but I could have done without that. 

It was an awesome 4 days off. Back to school, only 16 school days until summer! :D

weekending: the ocean!

This weekend was such a blast, we took advantage of the extra day off and headed to the ocean!

When we arrived on Saturday afternoon we walked along the beach and through some of the little shops in town. We watched the sunset on the beach and then went out for a fancy dinner for Valentine's Day.

On Sunday morning we got up and headed to Cannon Beach, known for their famous Haystack Rocks. We walked along the beach for a while, it was so nice to just walk and talk and enjoy the scenery and the sunshine! I must say we lucked out with weather. It was sunny and unseasonably warm, lower 60's, all weekend. It was amazing. :)

Sunday afternoon we played some games at the local arcade and then enjoyed happy hour in a bar with a view of the ocean. We watched the sunset again and it was a breathtakingly beautiful.

It was such a simple weekend but it was so special because it was just us, we were someplace different, and we were making those memories together. I loved every minute.
