It’s 2012 officially.
And so far, things are off to a good start. Of course, when you go vacationing to an awesome place with some of your best friends, you tend to have a good time. That has been the case for this New Year as well.
Just like NYE 2011, Kelly and I spent time on the Oregon coast with our friends Kevin and Stacy. This year, Chris and Corie visited with us as well and we all had a really nice dinner at the Saffron Salmon in Newport.
On New Years day, we woke up late (not surprising) and went back down to the waterfront area for a nice little lunch at Local Ocean, then on to a whale watching boat in which we actually saw 4 of the elusive humped-back critters. They are super difficult to get caught on film, but I did get a few shots of their spouts nonetheless.
As we’re getting ready to go back out again for dinner, I have been reflecting on the upcoming year and my previous post in which I laid out my resolutions.
I feel like i need to amend that list and add “go to the coast” more often. It quite simply is awesome. Looking at the view just from our rental condo, if I showed you a picture (which i am) you might be hard pressed to say that I wasn’t in Hawaii or something. Absolutely stunning, and to think its only an hour away from our house.
I also would add to the list to “vacation with friends more” because that always makes things more interesting. It’s fun to experience things with your closest friends.
