Pictures

I promised some pictures of our anniversary trip and I finally got them downloaded. This was our actual anniversary dinner... we got the very nice waitress to take our photo since the "self portrait" style just would not have cut it (although I think we took a few of those too!) ; )

This is us on the beach in front of our hotel... it was a beautiful afternoon... oh yeah, it was the day we were leaving! We did have some some here and there, but we had our fair share of rain too. I did chop off a little of Jeff's head, but I am sure you'll forgive me.

This is the Flavel House in Astoria. We spent a whole day there just wandering around town and seeing the "sights". That included the Goonies House, some really good fish and chips, an AWESOME mocha, and a really cool old Theatre. This house was really neat though... built somewhere around 1885. It's almost 12,000 square feet and lots of neat rooms and old furniture. It even had indoor plumbing! Jeff and I even imagined what it would have been like had he been my gentleman caller during those days... I made a grand entrance down the big stair case to meet him in the formal entry. Okay, so maybe only I imagined, and he just humored me! ; )

And I know I'll get in trouble for posting this one, but I just had to... we stopped at the Peter Iredale wreck near Fort Stevens... it's an old sailing ship that was wrecked in 1906 and all that is left is the old iron hull that sticks out of the sand and gets beat by the waves. All I can say about this photo is... ask Jeff to do his Peter Iredale voice for you. I love it!

All in all it was a wonderful trip. We praised God that he blessed us with a fabulous first year of marriage. We give him the glory for bringing us together... we live, we laugh and we love. Thank you Father.
