Today, since I didn’t have to work, we drove down to hike Drift Creek Falls trail. We took 101 south to get there. It was so very foggy the whole way. In some places you couldn’t even the ocean. Part of the road leading up to the trailhead was gravel. I held my breath the whole time since our last…
We tried a new place this week. It’s called the Whet Spot. They have 20 beers on tap, wine choices, and 3 floor to ceiling refrigerators with cans and bottles of different beers and ciders. Probably a good thing that we didn’t find this place until now. On our walk home we saw this little deer family. This weekend was…
Jim, the pilot of the biplane, sent me these two pictures that he took of us on the day of our flight. One is before the flight and the other was during the flight.
Saturday we got up early with intentions of hiking to the top of Saddle Mountain. We drove to the start of the trail only to find out that the trail to the summit was closed due to a bridge being repaired. We headed back and enjoyed the beautiful day by walking on the beach. It was a bit cool, about…
Ever since we arrived in Seaside, people have told us about the elk. Coworkers would bring in pictures of the elk in their neighborhoods, yards, and in the road on the way to work. There are plenty of signs on 101 warning drivers of the elk and yet I never saw them! One day while driving back from the grocery…
Today we hiked 8.5+ miles on the Tillamook Head Trail with our friends Paula and Don. Scott and I had semi attempted this hike when we first got to Seaside. We gave up after about 200 feet due to the extremely wet conditions and us not being prepared for it. The hike has an increase in elevation of about…
One of the nurses I work with invited us to a BBQ on the beach Friday evening. We had a really good time. We chose not to drive on the beach, however you are allowed to. Two people in our group got their cars stuck in the sand! We grilled hotdogs over an open fire and of course drank a…
So, we were walking along the promenade and we noticed that there were tons of berries! Blackberries and “blueberries” galore. I ate a few blackberries and told Scott to eat some of the “blueberries”. Amazed by how many there were, I sent my dad a picture via text to show him. When he saw the picture he asked me what…
Saturday we went to our friend’s Paula and Don’s for a cookout, fun, and of course wine! We had lots of good food! I even tried something new!! It was quinoa and it wasn’t bad. I kinda thought it looked like fish eggs though. Haha. The weather was beautiful and we were able to play outside for a while.…
Today after work we went to the column in Astoria. We climbed to the top again. This time there were a lot more people than the last time we were there. Afterwards, we went to Buoy in Astoria to enjoy a glass of their seasonal sour. It was so much fun to sit at the bar and to look right…
