Girls Weekend Out

Mom, our friend Ginger, her daughter Stacie and I went to Seaside, OR. It was the best weather I personally have ever seen at Seaside. We have made this outing an annual event where we stay the night at Seaside, shop, and eat. We hit all of the same stores and eat the same food. These times have become special to me as I have become older. Mom and Ginger no longer treat me like a teenager, but treat me like an equal who has the same trials and joys in life as they do. We had a good time of meaningful conversation along with antics and laughter. Thinking about the day when I will no longer be able to go on this annual trek saddens me and makes me appreciate the time I do have with friends and family on this earth and in this state.
