| the oregon coast: june 13-15, 2004 |
| as i wrapped up a fairly stressful first quarter of grad school, mark lined up a fabulous vacation to the oregon coast. we stayed at the amazing sylvia beach hotel in newport. a hotel designed for literature geeks like me, each room is decorated in the style of a famous author, and there are no televisions, computers or telephones in the rooms. with the roar of the sea complimenting tasty mulled wine served each evening in the library, i was in heaven. |
| mark relaxes on the bed of our F. Scott Fitzgerald room. he even got over his phobia of fringed things so i could stay in the beautiful 20's style room. |
| mark reading a work of fiction! (i wouldn't let him bring computer books.) he even enjoyed it! |
| the edgar allen poe room was cool, but definitely too creepy for me to want to sleep in. |
| me, enjoying the beautiful sea. |
| mossy rocks at the base of bluffs. |
| mark's wildest dairy dreams are realized. |
| a very happy couple. |
