Twins and Bro...: December 2012

The Grateful Bread Restaurant was closed but we took pics anyway.

December 17th was Shawn and my 13th wedding anniversary. We had a great time celebrating at Proposal Rock Inn. We had quite the adventure getting there though. First, we didn't know it would take 6(!!!) hours to get there, so we didn't leave early enough. Let me tell you, driving on dark Oregon country roads with no streetlights is no joke. Especially with 50 mph winds and SNOW!! When we got to the Inn, not only was the office was closed, the power was out! We had to drive 15 miles to Lincoln City (the nearest town) to use the payphone (because we don't have cells).

The manager left the key out along with a flashlight. We bought a couple candles. We had a romantic night in bed (get your mind out of the gutter) taking turns reading aloud to each other from my Kindle. The power came back on around 2:30 am. The rest of the vacation was relatively uneventful, just a nice relaxing couple of days together, without the kids.

The view from our balcony.

The view from the porch in our condo. If you peered around the corner you could see the ocean.

Our aunt Roxanne (on Shawn's side) gave us this nice bottle of champagne. Went strait to my head! :)

Our anniversary dinner, pork ribs and a delicious salad.

Our room was actually a one bedroom condo. It Shawn's aunt Roxanne's timeshare, she let us use some of her days for our anniversary trip.

Cable, internet, no phone but that just meant no distractions. :)

This bed is the first hotel/motel/ guest room bed I've ever slept on that didn't hurt my back. So comfortable.

The kitchen meant cooking, but I was ok with that because one, it saved money and two, the nearest town was 15 miles away and we would have had to drive through snow to get there!
