KEEP ADVENTURING!
We have stayed in a lot of different types of campgrounds but usually do so in our little teardrop. We were recently given the opportunity to stay in a yurt, which we have never done before and thought we should try it out. We packed up and drove the 3.5 hours from Portland to just south of...

This is one of the first years I have been out camping on Memorial Day in a very long time. Some friends invited us to join them for the weekend on the Rogue River and as I love that part of Oregon a great deal, I cleared everything so we could make sure to be there.... Continue Reading →
Nitty Gritty: Hiking trails are perfect for even the littlest hikers! Nice and level with no drop offs or long steep stretches. 3.5 miles of trails in the park No pets are allowed, so please leave your 4-legged fur babies at home There is lots of poison oak in the park and there are signs...

Last week I wrote about the first 10 days of our trip to Europe last summer, where we were visiting my husband's family. As we were on vacation we were really craving some warm beach time with a lovely sea where we could swim and frolic! England really doesn't offer much in that regard, so we knew we...

Just a few days after we got back from our 3 week roadtrip, we headed to the Oregon Coast for a school camp out at Nehalem Bay State Park. It is just outside the small town of Manzanita, which is 20 miles south of Cannon Beach. If you are driving from Portland, it will take... Continue Reading →
During our planning we figured by the middle of our trip we we were going to need certain things. Most national parks don't have electric for you to plug into at their campgrounds, so I was thinking my batteries would be getting low (I am working on a solar option as we speak!). We also...

After a night with friends in Couer d'Alene, we headed toward Butte, MT so we could camp at Lewis & Clark Caverns State Park. Lewis & Clark Caverns was formerly a National Park, but then changed to Montana's very first State Park. The campground is right off the road, and was very easy to find. It... Continue Reading →
Each summer I like to plan a road trip where we get out for an extended period of time and see as much as we can. 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...

The first week of May we joined up with 173 other teardrops for the 20th Annual DAM Gathering of the Tears at Lake Shasta. Word on the street says we might have broken at least a US record, if not a world record, for the largest tear drop gathering ever. No telling, but it was... Continue Reading →
The trailer is unloaded, the last dirt and grime is washed off of us (still need to wash the car and trailer), laundry has been started, dinner has been eaten, a very exhausted boy has been put to bed, and now I can tell you about our latest trip! We did a 4-day trip to... Continue Reading →
