  • 2017-07-18 PNW Day 8 (Part 2): The Traveling Trio

    I spent about an hour this AM in the fitness center at the hotel, which pretty much amounted to a room with a treadmill, elliptical machine, a weight machine, and a TV. I let the kids geek out with their iPads in the room while I got my steps in for the day. I opted…

  • 2017-07-18 PNW Day 8: Headed Home

    I ended up driving back to Portland last night with every intention of just returning the rental car and staying at a hotel near the airport and taking the shuttle when it was time to go. Instead, when we arrived, I thought maybe since our flight does not leave until later in the afternoon, I…

  • 2017-07-17 PNW Day 7: Winding Down

    The kids are still sleeping and I had to get up to go put money in the parking meeter. It’s not the most convenient thing to have to do (at 7AM), but since I was awake anyway it’s OK. I’ve slept 8+ hours the last three nights (pharma assisted) but I still don’t feel that…

  • 2017-07-16 PNW Day 6 (Part Two): Seattle Scenery

    We pretty much stuck to downtown today. The car was parked at a lot about a block from the hotel and we spend the whole day on foot. it is not cheap to park here for any amount of time, even on the weekend but in my opinion still worth not having to hassle with…

  • 2017-07-16 PNW Day 6: Waking Up in Seattle

    Last night we ended up stopping along I-5 North in Eugene Oregon at a lovely hotel, The Comfort Inn, which had an indoor pool and complimentary breakfast. Those are our two pre-requisites for an ideal stop. It’s actually the first place since the Holiday Inn Express a couple of days ago that was access to…

  • 2017-07-14 PNW Day 4: I’ve Come a Long Way Baby…

    … Literally. Yesterday I drove from Rockaway to Crescent City, Ca and what should have been a 6.5 hour drive took us 12 hours. We checked out of one motel at 11AM and checked into the next at 11PM. We made so many stops along the way. Some were good and some were bad, some…

  • 2017-07-13 Sand Dollar Sunset Cheeseburger.. 4.25

    I ended up booking a hotel in Rockaway Oregon because there were no rooms in Manzanita. Insert super sad face here but it’s good because I need to learn to branch out and try new things. I am now glad that I did because if it went differently I never would have experienced the Sand…

  • 2017-07-12 PNW Day 2 (Part 2): Less is More

    Today seems like it was a very full day, but we did not really do much. We woke up, had breakfast, packed up and drove west to the coast. Once we hit the 101 it was time to do a little bit of sightseeing. We drove north on the highway to Oswald State Park. We…
