BULLWINKLE'S IN WILSONVILLE, OREGON

 Randy and I decided to go to Bullwinkle's in Wilsonville on Feb 23rd.  They had remodeled since we had last been there and a lot of fun has been added.  They even now have a 16 lane bowling alley.  They also have Go-karts, Minigolf, Laser tag, Interactive movie experience, zipline, Bumper boats, a ropes course, and the arcade. They also have a small restaurant with nothing fancy.  Randy and I played lots of games, did mini-golf and also the bumper boats.  I laughed so much.  You used to use coins but now it is a little card like a credit card that you load up and use.  The card also accumulates the tickets you earn from the games you win and you no longer have to collect the paper tickets.  Here are pictures of our fun.


It was a blast to act like teens again!

VALENTINE'S HOLIDAY 2024

Randy and I had a nice escape to Newport, Oregon February 13th through 16th.  It was fun despite rain and wind! We stayed at the Hallmark with an ocean view and cozy fireplace.  We ate at Georgie's, which has the absolute best clam chowder in the state! 
We didn't get to use the cameras much as rain prevented it, but got a few shots with our phones. We enjoyed a stroll through a few crafting shops and I loved the glassblowers, Hot Shop.  Randy bought me a gift! When we arrived, I was surprised that Randy had arranged a bouquet of flowers, sparkling water (neither of us drink), candy and a card!  What a sweet surprise!  There were also towels on the bed in the shape of swans! I love swans!
Photos on our escapade during a lull in rain.
There was cute art to pose with.
We had a wonderful time and added more memories to our lives.

CHRISTMAS HOLIDAYS 2023

Randy brought me a Christmas bouquet for the holidays!
He is so sweet!
We spent Christmas eve with my best friend, Sue, and her family (who are also family to me as well). Sue is in green sweatshirt on the left. I am in red on the right and my Randy leaning over me.
We had prime rib for dinner!! Mmmm!
Christmas day Randy and I spent together, just the two of us!
He surprised me with a new laptop which is supposed to be the best for a photographer!
We also had our traditional Maine lobster tails! Randy started that tradition several years ago.  MMMMM!
I gave Randy a trip and he will pick the destination somewhere in Oregon or N, California.
His birthday is coming up January 26th so we are hoping to escape to the coast and see the wreck of the Peter Iredale as it is more exposed than ever.
