Good Times in the Car

Sissy came to visit! Last weekend Sis made the short trip up from SLC to keep me company. We had Italian for dinner and then just hung out at home the first night. I introduced her to Portlandia, a TV show that mocks Portland, which is funny because it is so accurate. Since she used to live here, I knew she would appreciate it. This also provided the new theme for the weekend, "Put a bird on it". The weather was on our side on Saturday so we packed up our tennis shoes, sweatshirts and rain coats (just in case) and headed out to the coast to enjoy a day at Cannon Beach. It has been a long standing joke that we always seem to have an unusual amount of fun in a car together. This time was no exception. After wandering on the beach we walked up and down the main street and stopped in literally almost every store as we did not want to miss anything (especially if it had a bird on it!). Sis made some excellent finds and we re-discovered that I have a tiny head. Every hat I tried on that day was way too big, except the ones from the kids section, so alas, I did not purchase a hat. But we had a great time soaking up the sun and seeing the sights. The next day we got our shop on at H&M, since it has not yet arrived in SLC. After a fun weekend, and a little strategic packing to fit all of her purchases back in her suitcase, Sis was back on the train headed for the airport and I was on my way to work.It was a short visit but I certainly appreciated the company. Thanks for coming to visit Sissy!

Sailor Steve! (and yes, my hair totally loves the wind)

While we did have fun, we were sad that Jess could not be here. So I will include a picture of her anyway cause I love her!
