Birthday Bliss


Best. Party. Ever.

Three nights, four days, fifteen friends, and one license to completely relax and party.

My thirtieth birthday was — and this is not hyperbole — the *best party I’ve ever had. * Ever.

Five weeks have already gone by and I still swoon with delight when I think of it.

Last night at the cabin-of-freedom-from-adult-life!

Last night at the cabin-of-freedom-from-adult-life!

The scene: Lincoln City — an Oregon coastal town full of posh rental houses. A winter quasi-weekend in January gave us pick of the litter. Our cabin came complete with hot tub, fantastic lounge area, awesome bedrooms, and a kitchen designed to feed crowds.

We did nothing and everything and I could easily spend several weekends a year hitting the repeat button. The food was (mostly) healthful and fantastic. The adult beverages plentiful, diverse, and delightful. The activities both languorous and hilarious — from Cards Against Humanity to Dirty Catch Phrase to Amy’s Special Trivia to beach walks to a few hours out at karaoke… It was like childhood summer vacation, but with all the power of the adult world.

I wish I could turn 30 every year!   ♣
