After the miracle of sun in the Pacific Northwest, life got too toasty for us at the 90 degree plus range. We headed to the beach. Here's Ari walking on water.
Alex and Anni model the latest in casual beach wear. Note the attractive shell collection basket.
All was going well until the ginormous shark appeared...
and swallowed us whole! Ahhhhhhhhhhhh!
Okay, just kidding. Anni went back to modeling.On Saturday, we headed to Portland for Ari's birthday trip. Nothing like one of your kids turning 20 to make you feel ancient. I mean how can she be twenty? Especially when I can't be a day past 29, hmmm. We spent a wonderful day breakfasting, browsing the Renaissance Bookstore, lunching, strolling the Nob hill street fair, chocolateering at Blue Moon Chocolates, buying bags of books at Powells, and caffeinating ourselves for the drive home.
A quick snap of our lavender bush babies. Aren't they cute?
