Allow me to rewind an entire month and go back to the West Coast trip Steven and I enjoyed in August. We started out in San Francisco, California; then headed up to Astoria, Oregon; and finished off in Portland, Oregon. Some highlights of the trip were (I'm feeling so lame that I'm actually going to bullet point these):
- having a picnic lunch at a beach overlooking the Golden Gate Bridge
- sipping clam chowder at Fisherman's Wharf
- walking miles all over the hills of San Francisco and eventually being rescued by cable cars
- staying at a wonderful hotel in Astoria that actually used to be an old Cannery
- the wonderful gift of a side by side couples hot stones massage (thanks Caroline & A.J.!)
- acting like kids with childhood friends
- seafood, seafood, and more seafood
- tide pool hunting
- antique shopping (Why must Oregon antiques be so much cheaper than Virginia ones!? I was trying to figure out ways to bring back large pieces of furniture!)
- lattes, lattes, and more lattes
- getting a ridiculously good deal on a posh Portland hotel
This makes me laugh because I'm pretty sure if Luke and I had taken that trip, we would have taken the same pictures. :)
