The Great Northwest

We left on our road trip yesterday and here is the view from our hotel. The upper Oregon coast is one of my favorite parts of the west and here we are resting and glad to be out of the car. Since our first date as most of you know was a week in the Azores, we figured out we are good traveling companions from the get go. One year of marriage and we are still like we were on our first date.
We are planning on visiting a friend on the Olympic Peninsula, a few days with friends in Seattle and then off to Montana to see my cousin. All of this is very exciting for me and I have a chance to show off my amazing husband to more people. I will keep you posted with news and photos along the way. We left without a true plan nor any reservations, a good ole fashion road trip.

We had oysters in Arcata last night. I don't think I have eaten any oysters since I moved back from the Northwest. They were grilled and quit tasty. Today we stopped and bought homemade pie, a memory of Gary's: Marionberry, Chocolate cream and the fav, Banana Cream. Healthy eating from the road.
Since my blog is about creating, I have been knitting and crocheting when I am the passenger. I brought watercolor pencils so I plan on doing some drawing inspired by the beautiful scenery. Who knows what I will come up with.
Updates and photos will keep you along with us on our trip.
