2017-08-12 Looking Forward
It’s good to have a plan. It’s good to have things to look forward to. An event or a meet up or a vacation in the future that you can think about and be excited about. I’m a planner by nature and I love having things to look forward to. That’s probably why I am…

2017-07-20: These are a Few of Our Favorite Things…
On the plane ride home I asked my kids about our vacation with very specific questions. I think what you retain in your memories is solidified by recalling it several times, especially when it is fresh in your mind. I’m asking myself the same questions and will see how my answers stack up next to…

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…

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…

2017-07-13 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…
