Mt. Laguna, CA: Camping. Toads. Pink Sunglasses.

I spent a glorious Easter weekend with my family.

At the Oregon coast. We were originally going to go crabbing, but it was too cold and choppy. We still managed to have a lot of fun, though.

Ben and Jax wrastled some bull kelp.

We appreciated the craftsmanship of some sweet old quilts at a little quilting museum in Tillamook.

(More quaintness near the museum)

We also stopped by the Tillamook Cheese Factory. I will never grow tired of the factory tour or the marionberry pie ice cream.

We celebrated 3 Birthdays: Dad's, mine and Ben's.

Mom spoiled me with Clinique makeup and handmade jewelry.

It was a wonderful visit. Trips home feed my soul.

The things that make a birthday.
