Checking out, Brunch, Shopping, and Home

 Check-out time was 10 am!! Argh.  Normally it has been 11 am.  We needed to be more organized and less relaxed with showers, packing, and cleaning up. Joyce and I were the early risers so we took care of our stuff early. 

We had a visitor on the deck

Barbara put out grapes for it.

Got it.

Looked like it would be a nice day

This time we had the extra job of lugging all of our luggage up the driveway to the vehicles!! 

Finally ready for our group picture. Me, Sharon, Olivia, Judy, Kris, Joyce, and Barbara S.

We headed out at 10:05 am!! Not bad. 

We headed to Fathom Penthouse Restaurant in the Inn at Spanish Head for brunch.  It was very close.  We could not make a reservation so we hoped that we could get in.  We lucked out because not only did we get in right away but we had a table with a great view.

We headed to the Freed Gallery to check out the art.  Joyce's car missed the turn so they went to the glass place and Mossy Creek Pottery.  We saw a lot of gorgeous art. We headed off to Mossy Creek Pottery to meet up with Joyce and Barbara S.  

After Mossy Creek we said our goodbyes.  Judy was going to hang out at the beach longer.  Olivia shifted to Joyce's vehicle.  They headed home.  Kris, Sharon, and I made a quick stop at the outlet mall then we headed home. We made an ice-cream stop in Newberg.

You can see the smiley face up on the hill.  It always looks great in the fall because the trees in the face turn orange.

Northwest Cream for ice cream

We went to Sharon's first to drop her off.  George met me at Kris' to take me home.  I was home by 5 pm.  I heard that everyone else made it home safely as well.  

What a fun weekend.  Great food, great house, great company but a terrible driveway.
