Tillamook Get-A-Way

For Memorial Weekend we decided to get out of Portland and have a mini-vacation. And a vacation is not complete without good company. Yeah Andrew and I enjoy each others company but having another amazing couple to share the weekend doesn't hurt. We invited our good friends, Michael and Kristen Badriaki, to come over to Tillamook with us. We had a coupon for a hotel room from our last visit and decided this would be a perfect time to use it!
On Sunday after church we picked the Badriakis up and headed to the coast. Since this was Kristen's first time to Tillamook our first stop had to be the cheese factory. We did not think about it being a Sunday so the factory part was closed (which I was so sad about because that is my most favorit part) but of course the ice cream shoppe was still open. We ate some great Tillamook ice cream then went to check into our room, where we talked for a while and then played half a game of dominoes. After dominoes it was off to Main Street Pizza for dinner and some great conversation. Following dinner we drove to the beach and to work off our dinner we had a dance party in the car! Good times!!! The beach was beautiful with a georgeous sunset. We walked along the beach, took pictures, skipped rocks, and Michael tried to teach Andrew how to do the moon walk. That night back in the hotel room we finished our game of dominoes (where yours truly won...a thank you!). The next day it was another stop at the chesse factory for lunch, crab catching on the beach and then one final stop at the factory for ice cream.
We had a great time and laughed and laughed and laughed! Michael and Kristen are two of the coolest people we know and we feel so blessed to have them are our friends! Andrew and I look forward to many more get-a-ways with these two!!
Hope you enjoy the photos....
