We finally did it!!! After years of my husband making plans for us to retire in costal Oregon, we finally actually went there for the first time ever. I have always been in agreement with him that the pictures are beautiful, and the costal prices are way better than So Cal. But I also kept telling him that it is crazy to make such big plans centering around a place we have never been before. So we flew in Portland, drove west and spent the week driving all the way down to the CA boarder and then back up flying back home through Eugene. The amount of hiking and tide pooling we did was insane for us homebodies. But I do have to admit that Oregon is beyond beautiful but I'm just still not sure if I could survive the weather. Here are some pictures from our trip...........
