beach trip

My sister, mom, sister's boyfriend's mom (that's a mouth-full!), and I had a "girls weekend/birthday for my mom" planned for some time now. This crazy weather made us question the trip but we decided to head out anyway!

We had a wonderful relaxing time and Susan totally spoiled us with homemade chowder, massages at a wonderful local spa, and treats in her beautiful home. We decided to leave Saturday night because of snowy weather to come, but all in all had a wonderful time!

Here's a photo of the roads on the trip to the beach. It felt like we were going to the mountain, not the beach!

The snowy patio at Susan's beach house. Susan is the mom of my sister's boyfriend, Michael and she was gracious enough to host us at her beautiful home at Manzanita!

Beach treats: gummy fish, worms, sharks, frogs, and octopus! Yum!

Birthday cupcakes: Angel food cupcakes with lemon cream frosting.

To another great year.... happy birthday mom!
