Christmas-ing on the Oregon Coast

We missed photographing some of the fun memories of making cookies and putting together puzzles with Grandpa (we were too busy making cookies and putting together puzzles) but here are some of our pictures.  You can check out more photos of the fun on Thadd’s blog, or on Shannon and John’s, or on Mr. Allen’s.

These shoes have seen it all

and are being retired.  They took Josh to China, India and South Africa.  Good work, shoes!

Jeannette’s trip to Baltimore

Jeannette went to Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health for work this week.  In addition to a super productive day long meeting, it was great to tour a bit of the buildings and see such a prestigious facility.

The Cape & Newport with the Allen Folks

When Jeannette’s folks came back to Boston from their Bermuda trip, we took a weekend trip out to the Cape and then on to Newport, RI.  We had a fun time going out to the tip of the Cape and Josh found a new favorite Cape restaurant, The Paddock.  In Newport, we always enjoy the downtown by the waterfront.  We had a great time playing cards and hanging out.

New England Foliage with Fiala Folks

Happy Columbus Day!

We took a weekend trip to Maine and New Hampshire with Josh’s folks to do some leaf peeping, antiquing, brewery hunting, and euchre playing. We had such a fun trip and loved exploring NH’s White Mountains – especially Franconia Notch – with them.

We spent our first night in Maine and found plenty of local brews to try while getting in a few rounds of Euchre. It was a great way to end a good day of antiquing and a nice dinner at the Portsmouth Brewery in New Hampshire!

We saw great colors early and often!

Josh found the Yellow Lady and had to try a round at lunch.

One of many cute covered bridges we saw

We did short hikes to a few pretty falls

The place we stayed had a whole block of houses and a brewery!  It was great!

The cuteness where we stayed

Indian Head

Franconia Notch

Where the Man in Mountain was before he fell down

We finally found shuffleboard in New England!  Though this is all the way in New Hampshire! Girls win!
