My Sweetie & I

To say that my Sweetie and I had a GREAT time this past weekend is a HUGE understatement. I agreed to a weekend getaway with the caveat that my husband was allowed to be 100% in charge!!! Now, for those of you who don’t yet know me, let me tell you – well, that was no easy feat on my part, but I agreed!! I mean, I LOVE going to the little beach house with my Sweetie, so I figured my “freedom” would be a small price to pay for a weekend getaway.

Well, my Sweetie DID NOT disappoint!!

We got out to the beach house and from that point on, my Sweetie had everything planned, paid for, and my every need taken care of! WHAT A FABULOUS MAN!!!

One of the big surprises of the weekend for me was that my Sweetie took me to a light house. Actually, he took me to the Yaquina Head Lighthouse, the tallest light house in Oregon.

We had a lot of fun taking our turn to walk up the 114 steps to see the panoramic view from the very top.

The views were spectacular, and my fabulously patient Sweetie let me just take pictures of all of the gorgeous surroundings without rushing me at all, what a treat!

This particular outing actually helped me cross of something from My Life List item #719. Thank you very much Sweetie!!!

On to our next outing, and one that my husband and I MUST do EVERY time we go out to the little beach house, can you guess what it is??? A USED BOOK STORE!!! No, let me rephrase that, THE BEST LITTLE USED BOOKSTORE IN ALL OF THE OREGON COAST!!! It is a little place with a HUGE heart, called Robert’s Bookshop. They sell all kinds of used books in ever genre imaginable! My husband and I have been going to this bookstore for at least 10 years, if not longer! and of course, I spent waaaaaay too much money, and bought waaaaaay too many books!! I am just going to have to admit it that I am going to need to purchase more bookshelves!!! 😉 Of course, I must confess that I did soooo much book shopping on the rainy day that we hid out there, that I did not take one single solitary picture of our 4 or 5 hour stay at that this FABULOUS place. (I did mention that my Sweetie was patient, didn’t I?? THIS IS PROOF!!!)

My Favorite Place in the World!

Tomorrow I will tell you more about our trip to the coast!

TREASURE HUNTING!!!!

Have a FABULOUS evening!!
