Best Birthday Ever - You Only Turn 30 Once

Ok, first of all, I have to say that I have the most incredible husband! It really took a lot of work to surprise me with a romantic kid-less birthday weekend getaway! We haven't had alone time since Ari was born, and we really needed it!

Aaron did all the planning and preparation. He arranged with my work in advance for me to have Friday off and he arranged for Ari to stay with our dear friend (and caregiver for Ari during the work week) for the weekend. We have never both left Ari overnight before so this was a big deal for us. Of course we missed him like crazy and were so happy to see him on Sunday. :)

Aaron took me to The Stephanie Inn in Cannon Beach, OR. We got engaged there in 2005 and we also celebrated our one year anniversary there in 2007. It's such an amazing place! It's so beautiful. We really really love it there. Here is the view from our ocean front room -Right after we arrived at the Inn, Aaron had another surprise waiting for me - a massage! I got to go to the spa Friday afternoon and relax - it was incredible. I haven't been that relaxed in a long time. We spent the rest of the weekend eating fancy meals, walking on the beach, shopping and relaxing. We loved it. :) This seriously was the best birthday ever!

March 15, 2010 Sara's Birthday

I'm getting caught up on pictures and wanted to share some cute one's from my birthday. We went out to dinner at Chinook's - which is super kid friendly. Great spot! I have been going there since I was in high school...one of my all time favorites.
