As we headed toward the coast we swung around Eugene to pick up Julie and the three of us made our way to Marci's. What a beautiful day it was to be on the road and Maia did excellent. Our stop in Eugene was timed perfectly in between Maia's two naps.
So when we arrived we gave hugs to Marci. Well Julie and I did. Marci had not seen Maia since she was about a week old and was surprised by the grip Maia had on her hair. Yes this was somewhat of a posed picture, but Maia really had her hair good. I guess maybe it is Maia's way of saying hello??
This was right outside Marci's place. They live above some store fronts off the 101 in North Bend which is right next to Coos Bay. Maia wore her sailor outfit since we were headed to the Ocean. She was dressed for the occasion you could say!
The Hostel sign indicates where Marci lives. It was a hostel at one point, but the owners turned it into an apartment. It was almost as though we stayed in the Hostel, yet a lot homier that a normal hostel.
Then off to the Ocean we went. It was in the mid 70's when we arrived. A gorgeous day to be on the coast! We hit it just right because in Oregon sometimes these day are hard to come by. 
Dead trees!!! I think this was supposed to be a pretrfied tree?? I remember Marci saying something about that, but it could just be a dead tree. I just love the twists and curves they make. Don't get me wrong I do love live trees better than dead ones Anyways, here we are posing in front of it.
In the same park was a garden with tulips and daffodils and other flowers around along with a pond and fountains. So here is Maia among the daffodils. Not the best picture of Maia, but the flowers look beautiful.
"Tiptoe through the tulips through the tulips" Or you could just eat them.
Whoo hoo girls weekend and here are the girls!
On Saturday we went to a small coastal town called Bandon. We had Thai food, tasted goodies at the little shop called Cranberry Sweets and strolled along the boardwalk.
Maia was all tuckered out. So we bundled here all up so she would be warm while she napped.
On Sunday we went to church and then went to a pottery shop where you can paint pottery. So we all painted mugs together! It was a fun activity for us all to enjoy and to take something back with us to remind us of great friendships that we have with one another. 
We left the next day(Monday) and headed back to drop Julie off at the airport in Eugene. While in Eugene Maia and I met up with some college friends of mine for lunch. What a fun time of reconnecting! We had a great weekend! It seemed to short, but doesn't it always? I am just blessed to have friends that encourage me to be a better person! Thanks Marci and Julie for being great friends to share with , to pray with and to laugh with!!!

Great pictures Jeanette! It looks like a fun weekend. Isn't it refreshing to get together with girlfriends? It always makes me extra cheerful and makes me appreciate my husband even more. I'm glad the car ride went well, and that darling Maia had fun too!
