I would always get sad when I would hear about women having girls night outs and I was never invited to them. I thought it would be fun to start my own so I invited my friends Ruth Elison, Stacy Dowd and Heather Wynkoop to go with me to Seaside for the weekend.
Ruth moved into our ward in November and Ashley realized that she was her Music teacher at West Union. I went up to her with Ashley and she was so sweet. I decided to sit with her in Relief Society and I sat with her for weeks, until she was called into the Primary Presidency. Stacy was Ruth's Visiting Teacher so I knew they were already friends and Stacy is such a sweetheart I knew she would be fun to invite and I also knew that Heather, who did not know Ruth, was going to be a blast as always. It worked out to be a great group of ladies.
Stacy founds a lovely hotel about 1/4 mile from the beach in Seaside that had a kitchenette area and a balcony. It was perfect. It also had breakfast so that saved us some money.
We were ready to go and all of us were so excited. I was embarrassed because I packed so much for one night. As I went around, I drove, to pick up each of the ladies it became apparent that we all packed way too much.
Once we got to our hotel we decided to walk around to some of the shops and get some pizza to go.
After getting our pizza we went back to our room for the night and did beading, nails, TONS of talking and TONS of laughing and watched a couple of movies It was such a fun and relaxing night. We did not go to sleep until 1 or so. It was so nice to have four ladies there and not a bit of gossip was said. That is my kind of ladies night!!!!
Saturday morning we ate the continental breakfast then went shopping round town. This hat store was hilarious! It was so fun trying on hats with such crazy friends.
We then went and walked on the beach. The weather was absolutely PERFECT! Could not have asked for a more perfect weekend. I am not sure that I have ever gone to an Oregon beach without any wind, and that Saturday there was none.
We had fun playing in the water like children. It was so nice to not have to worry about kids and I could just do what I wanted. The water was absolutely FREEZING! I never got used to it, but that didn't stop us.
After playing in the water we drove to Cannon Beach and ate at Mo's. It has amazing food and I ate their fish and chips. So good!
After a fun filled weekend it was sad to drop everyone off at home, but we plan to go again, but next time with our husbands. It was such a fun weekend. I have great memories that I will cherish. Love these women!
