Weekend Recap: 20th Birthday Beach Celebration

As you all know, this past weekend was my birthday weekend, and I got to spend it at one of my favorite beaches here in the Pacific Northwest with my best friends and family! I had such a great time, and I just wanted to share some photos with you all because I was able to get some really good ones.

This was on my actual birthday, and if you follow me on Instagram, then you saw Julie the duck! She wandered over to the sheet Joycie and I had put down to eat lunch on, and I happen to carry duck food with me (there’s a lot of cute ducks to feed on campus, I’m not strange…), so she got to eat a little lunch with us too! She was seriously so adorable.
 My parents sent me a bouquet of some of my favorite flowers on my birthday – they are so pretty, and are still alive!

 I ended up finding this cute little rock shaped like a heart!

 TJ, or “old-man-dog” as we lovingly call him even though he’s only four, completely passed out after the first long day at the beach.

 Here’s some cute shots of my family and I! In this one our dogs had just spotted another dog they were dying to play with.

 Completely normal.
Haha, I had to include these last two because they’re a pretty accurate representation of how Joycie, Rachel, and I actually are when we’re all together.
My 20th birthday weekend was honestly one of the best I’ve ever had, and I’m so glad Joycie and Rachel were able to come along with my family and I. We all had a blast, and I definitely did not want to leave! The beach was really gorgeous, and wasn’t even cold at all. I’m also really glad I got as many photos as I did (many of them courtesy of Joycie and Rachel) so I can look back on them and relive all of the happy memories.
Do you like going to the beach?

Thank you so much for reading, and have a great day! 🙂
