28th Anniversary Trip to Oregon

For our 28th wedding anniversary, John and Mary Jo spent the weekend on the Oregon Coast, at a wonderful new hotel on the beach overlooking one of Oregon's famous rocks that sits about 200 yards offshore. It was a gorgeous sunny weekend and we took a long walk along the sand, up over the surrounding dunes as well as along the flat sandy beach. Sunset was amazing, as the sun set right behind the Haystack Rock and we could watch it from the balcony of our room.

David Wright's Last Game

In late September, John went back to New York to see David Wright play in his last game. It was a playoff atmosphere at Citifield with a packed house and lots of ovations. The Mets won 1-0 in 13 innings!
