Today we ventured south on the Pacific Coast Scenic Byway on the way to our destination. It was a beautiful ride and the traffic was not nearly as bad as I thought it would have been. It took us a while to travel down this due to all the stops we made for beautiful scenery. This was one of our…
Friday we enjoyed a wine and paint night at a local winery with some friends from work! Saturday we participated in the Seaside Spring Wine Walk with a few friends. I was on call the whole weekend so I had a paint night and a non wine, wine walk. Scott was however able to enjoy wines from a lot of…
Saturday we had an awesome evening with some new friends at a local winery. They were celebrating their 1 year of being open here in Seaside. We drank wine, ate, enjoyed a live band, and had fun with friends. It must have been a perfect night for a fire on the beach because on our walk home we saw tons…
We ventured into Washington today to visit Cape Disappointment State Park. We hiked a short trail to see the Cape Disappointment Lighthouse. We also toured the Lewis and Clark Interactive Museum. It was a very gloomy day! We will try to go back on a clearer day to take advantage of the views. We drove to the other end of…
Friday we had a nice evening hanging out in a local winery (which we are now members of) and enjoyed a beautiful sunset on the beach. Saturday, we celebrated Cinco de Mayo with a cookout at a coworkers house. We had good food, drinks, and fun. On our drive home we stopped to check out another beautiful sunset.

Tonight we had dinner and drinks with some coworkers. After dinner we decided to have dessert at Scott’s new favorite place. On the way to get gelato we stopped by a store where you can ride a bucking shark! After we stopped there for a photo op, we made it to the gelato place!
Today we had another amazingly beautiful day. Since I didn’t have to work, we decided to travel a couple of hours east to Silver Falls State Park. We hiked about 6 miles and saw 10 waterfalls! We were even able to walk behind a couple of them! We packed a lunch and made a day of it. I am glad…
