this past weekend was my annual girls trip weekend. claire, angela, erin and i met in college and went on our first girls trip to LA during spring break our senior year in 02. we have been meeting up once a year ever since. this year we ventured down to cannon beach in oregon-an amazing beach and quaint little town. the weather was perfect - warm, sunny and clear blue skies. we spent the weekend taking walks on the beach, wandering around town and eating good food. our tiny little cottage made it hard to accommodate a 2 1/2 year olds, 14 month olds & 7 1/2 month olds nap, feed & wake schedule. we made do, but definitely decided to leave the kids at home next year with the dads! the weekend is meant to bring some R&R and although we had our moments, we were pretty busy the whole time just managing the children.and then there was sunday night...angela was trying to put ellie to bed when it started...ellie threw up and didn't stop all night. then riley started about 10:30 and didn't stop until 3am. then claire started about midnight and has still not recovered. it was a long night of no sleep, lots and lots of clean up and wondering how were we ever going to get home? we managed to pack up , clean and leave the cottage before the sun came up on monday morning. angela made it home...and then got sick. i almost made it home, but ended up having to pull over so i could get sick on the side of the road. erin and wesley have still yet to get sick...hang in there you two! needless to say, it was a terrible and bizarre ending to our weekend. we can laugh about it now, but we will all agree that was one of our worst nights ever! check out angela and erin's version of the story :) and now a few photos:
riley's first ever ice-cream eating experience!

oh, i'm so sorry you gals got sick! that is no fun. but it does look like you all had a great time getting away together. these are such wonderful photos of the beach, of you and your friends, of riley and the other little ones! i hope everyone is feeling better!
These are great pictures Elizabeth! Looked like fun- I recognize everyone's favorite pizza shoppe in the back of one of those pics. Yum!
love, Marthy
Oy! It sounds even worse my second time hearing it. Next year, the kiddos stay with daddy and your girls should have a weekend to yourselves. Bring lots of hand sanitizer.
