My sister and I decided to plan a little getaway to Beverly Beach after finals week. We decided to take our boyfriends camping in a yurt for the weekend. Oregon beaches are usually cold and horrible even in the summer, so I really was not expecting to get any great beach action in early December. I was pleasantly surprised, luckily. The moment we arrived Paul had planned a hike for us up the Cascade Head Trail, just north of Lincoln City. It was an incredible hike and the view of the ocean was gorgeous. I just wish I wasn't so gross and sweaty when I had my picture taken.
The hike wasn't that grueling and even if it was, the view was so worth it. I didn't even have to edit any of these photos because it was spectacular on its own.
That night Ashley, Michael, and Paul staged a very early birthday surprise for me that caught me completely off guard. Ashley made me a banner and Paul brought ice cream cake. We had gin & tonics, Paul made delicious kabobs, and we played card games with Ashley's 80's Chippendale dancer cards.
On our last day, we spent our time on the actual beach. I wish mermaids existed and I was born as one because all I want to do is be in the ocean. It took all I had not to get into the freezing cold water and actually go swimming. It's a good thing I didn't because I ended up getting a cold from the trip and if I had actually gotten in the water I probably would have gotten pneumonia.
