A Ladybug's Journey

Wow, what a weekend... well, since Thursday actually. We picked up Celia in Portland on Thursday, had lunch at Pambiche (Cuban restaurant in Portland) and then drove over to Astoria for the night.  On Friday we explored Astoria (and Goonies film locations), visited Cannon Beach, toured the Tillamook Cheese Factory and drove home.  Saturday we visited Crater Lake and Sunday we went to Skinner's Butte, and Hop Valley.  What a busy weekend we had!

I am beyond excited...  Do you know what that means?  I can't stop smiling, I'm giddy, hyper, and I probably won't sleep tonight...  Why is this?  My SISTER (one of them) is coming to town!  I can't waaaaaaiiiiittttttttt... She'll be here tomorrow.  We're going to visit Astoria (home of the GOONIES!) and Crater Lake while she's here... Lots of fun to be had this weekend, yearbook items to take care of and lots of pics to come. Oh yeah, and weigh in tomorrow! =)
