We have left the PNW and ventured back into California—chasing that sunshine! ☀️

After driving for six hours, we had a quick overnight stop at this KOA Journey right on the Sacramento River. We had a paved and level pull-through site, which made the whole stop easy-peasy!

I know the dunes and the lighthouses and the sea lion caves are a big draw but if you ever need a break from the excitement, Old Town Florence, Oregon is such a cute little stroll.

Yesterday, we went to the Umpqua River Lighthouse. J and I honeymooned at the state park here, 2️⃣5️⃣ years ago! 😱

It was a beautiful day inland but right here on the ocean, the marine layer said “nah, you don’t get a view today.”

We got to go up into the lighthouse and see the workings of the lens and lights, explored the museum, and (as always) found some stickers.

Would an ocean view and some whale watching been amazing? Sure. But there’s something calming about marine layer fog. 😶‍🌫️

We spent part of the afternoon yesterday at the Tillamook Creamery, doing their free tour and eating cheese and ice cream. 🧀🧈🍦

We ventured out to Astoria, Oregon and then to Cannon Beach for the afternoon. Lots of cute shops, cold water, and amazing views. Oh, and wildlife! We finally saw some elk roaming around, though we weren’t expecting them on a soccer field. 🤣

We have been enjoying our time back in our neck of the woods but this week, O and I had a quick side quest trip back to Indy—and we are exhausted!!

We flew SEA➡️ORD➡️IND and then IND➡️DEN➡️SEA.

Out of 4 flights, 3 of them were delayed. The one from Denver back to Seattle was almost 5 hours late (and we thought it might even be canceled!). Aside from the delays and one very rude customer service rep, it was a good trip. O really enjoyed the takeoffs, landings, and the bit of bumpy turbulence. 🤪

Yesterday, we had a mini Sunday Fun Day excursion to the Mount St. Helens visitor’s center. We would have loved to go to Johnston Ridge Observatory but, sadly, it is still closed due to a lack of access.

The visitor’s center is packed with information on the geology of our area and, obviously, the infamous 1980 eruption. Mount St. Helens (or Lawetlat'la (lawilátɬa)—the smoker) lost a total of 314 feet of height and a big section of her north face during the event.

If you ever believed that we are not intertwined with nature, standing in her shadow and really observing all of the life around you is sure to erase that belief. I highly recommend a trip to see this iconic part of the PNW!

Did you know: She last erupted on January 16, 2008?
