Location Date Description
California 2013-06-16 California
After an iffy start (and a trip to Urgent Care where we found out Tryna has an intestinal virus) we headed north on route 395.
Juniper Reservoir Resort 2013-06-21 Juniper Reservoir Resort
Even though the weather didn't cooperate (lots of rain), we had an enjoyable stay at Juniper Reservoir in Lakeview, OR. at this beautiful 8,000-acre working ranch.
Central Oregon 2013-06-26 Central Oregon
This area of Oregon includes the Deschutes National Forest as well as Lava Lands National Monument.
Newport 2013-07-10 Newport
This Oregon central coast town is home to the west coast's largest commercial fishing fleet. It's both a bustling salty port and a popular tourist destination and one of our favorite coast towns.
Seaside 2013-07-20 Seaside
This typical beach town has miles of sandy beach and dramatic ocean views. Unfortunately at this time of year, we didn't get to see much sun.
La Conner 2013-07-31 La Conner
La Conner, Washington is a 19th century waterfront town and is the county's oldest community.

La Conner Revisited 2013-08-27 La Conner Revisited
What can we say except we just love it here. Not only that but we got the site with a view!
Seaside, Oregon Revisited 2013-09-15 Seaside, Oregon Revisited
The name Seaside is derived from Seaside House, a historic summer resort built in the 1870s by railroad magnate Ben Holladay. We stayed here earlier in the summer when the kids were with us but we love the coast so don't miss an opportunity to stay by the water. The only difference this year is that we have had lots of rain to contend with while here.
Newport, Oregon Revisited 2013-09-25 Newport, Oregon Revisited
Our drive to Newport was beautiful but I'm afraid the inclement weather is following us south. Newport was incorporated in 1882, though the name dates back to the establishment of a post office in 1868.
Bandon, Oregon 2013-10-02 Bandon, Oregon
Bandon is known as the Cranberry Capital of Oregon. It was rebuilt in 1936 after a fire destroyed the entire business district as well as most of the residences.
Last Leg 2013-10-06 Last Leg
We don't usually take much time to sight see on the last leg of our trip. By this time we actually begin looking forward to being home!
