  • 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…

    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…

    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…

  • 2017-07-12 PNW Day 2: Headed for the West Coast

    Today we will not miss the free breakfast at our hotel, the lovely Holiday Inn Express in Troutdale Oregon. After that, I am not sure if we will linger at all around this area or just head for the coast. I’d like to hang out at least long enough to miss morning traffic as we…
