on 9.19.09 we witnessed two people, so right, so perfect, so in love with each other say their "i dos" on pier 14 in Astoria, Oregon.

The cannery pier hotel, the facial, the waterfront cruiser bike ride, the food, the laughs, the Goonies tour, the farmers market...all made for 1000+ perfect pictures. Thank you Scott and Lori for an amazing weekend. Love you guys!

last weekend we went camping, our first this summer, at whispering falls with our good friends cheryl, ronnie, and their son, zach. what a wonderful weekend with friends, good weather and the usage of the word "burnage".

this was winston's first camping experience and other than everything sticking to and in his white fur, pitch included, he was a champ and so well-behaved.

while I was going through the photos from our trip, I came across the following pictures Brenner took with my camera while he was hiding in our tent from bees.

The number of photos I took during our "summer school is out" celebration vacation at Newport, Oregon. We couldn't have asked for better weather (as you can see) and the cottage we rented was just so perfect for us.

We spent most of our time on the beach soaking up the sun and spending quality time together as a family. Our scheduled crab fishing trip was cancelled due to high water swells, per captain sawyer's "let's play it safe" recommendation. After brenner's heartbreaking look of utter disappointment slowly wore off we strolled down to the historic bayfront to check out the sites and smelly seals.

I couldn't possibly post all the pictures in one blog entry, so I created a photo album for your viewing pleasure. To view them in a slideshow just click on any picture and voila!
