KEEP ADVENTURING!
The San Juan Islands have become a big time destination for travelers, and not just locals to the Pacific Northwest. People are flocking here from all over to get a sense of what our boating/island life is like while enjoying the Northwest culture and food. Many of the islands can be easily accessed via ferry...

Every summer we do a camping with our school at Nehalem Bay State Park which is just outside of the gorgeous, tiny town of Manaznita. This year a group of us decided we wanted to add more hiking/walking to our stay and we checked out a couple of things. The first was a walk from... Continue Reading →
A few months ago my 8-year-old son decided he didn't want to go to soccer camp, which was a stunning realization for me because he says he wants to be pro-Footballer when he is older. He asked if we could cancel soccer camp and go camping instead. He was very specific where he wanted to... Continue Reading →
This summer we were exploring the southwestern corner of our state in our little teardrop. As a young girl I used to go to Girl Scout summer camp at Camp Cleawox, which is right next door to Honeyman State Park and the closest I could get my son to that camp. It held such amazing...

I called up Sandland Adventures and booked our Dune Buggy tour before we set out on our trip.

I really like focusing our trip on National and State Parks, and visiting various stops along the way. I will come to a screeching halt for "The Biggest/Smallest__________". They...

We just got back this afternoon from a quick weekend trip to Lincoln City. We had a great time and got to check out a new beach (for us). It provided some great surfing (although, my husband does it in his river kayak), and some great beach time for me and Laddy. Click here to... Continue Reading →
http://koa.com/campgrounds/lincoln-city/# We decided at the last minute that we wanted to do a weekend at the beach. I hopped online and started trying to make a reservation at Nahalem Bay State Park. There was one tent spot left, I clicked 'add to basket', and it was gone. I missed it by seconds. I tried to...

Being a 6th generation Oregonian, I feel like I know a lot about the place. Fact is, I do, but not about the whole state. It is a big place, with lots of things to see and do. That is where this favorite thing comes in. As a kid, we spent a lot of time... Continue Reading →
