Back in June, three of my closest girlfriends and I decided to take a girls trip to the Washington coast. Sara was pregnant, and this was kind of a last hurrah before she became a mommy, and travelling with the girls would be a bit more challenging. We rented a cabin at the Collins Inn and Seaside Cottages. It was the perfect mix of down time and quality time with my girls. Ocean Shores is about 3 hours away from Seattle. We all took a 1/2 day off work, and headed down that afternoon. We checked in, and were extremely happy with our accommodations for the weekend. I'd definitely recommend where we stayed. It wasn't in the usual downtown, touristy area of Ocean Shores, which was actually quite nice. The beach area we had access to was quiet, and pretty secluded.
That night, we decided to check out the casino. We grabbed a bite to eat, listened to the cover band play, and played (and lost) some slot machines. It was a pretty low key night, as we were all a little tired.
The next day, we headed down to the main beach/shopping area. It was the sand & sawdust festival there. Purely a coincidence... definitely didn't plan the weekend around that, but it was fun. Walked along the beach and then grabbed some lunch at a little hole-in-the-wall place (they really are always the best!) and headed back to our cabin to nap and just relax. We walked down to our beach, and spent a couple hours chatting, and enjoying the scenery before going back to the cabin to enjoy the yummy lasagna Heather made us.
The rest of the night was spent drinking wine, (sparkling water for Sara, of course) playing board games, and laughing so much. Seriously hadn't laughed that hard in a long time! The next morning, we went to breakfast, and then hit the road.
I've got some amazing friends, and I love being able to spend time with them. Such a great weekend!
