this might just be my fastest ever turnaround from doing a thing to posting about it. this past weekend, we moved further north up the coast, to ocean city washington. it’s not really near much of anything and there’s a dead whale on the beach at our campground, so, well, we are mostly laying low.

camp jackson.
on our travel day, from seaside to ocean city, we decided to take a big detour and visit our friends, the jacksons, who were staying about an hour and a half away. jenn planned an epic day of fun and sugar for the lidkids, making this their favorite travel day pit stop of all time. […]
aquariums and randomness from seaside, oregon.
we kept pretty busy getting out and about to adventure during our time at seaside, visiting the cheese factory, cannon beach and all things goonies in astoria, and the lewis and clark park. but, some other cool stuff happened in between. one such cool thing was a little trip to the aquarium with just anna. […]
lewis and clark national historical park
while we were in seaside, we picked back up with our junior rangering, by way of the lewis and clark national historical park. this time was extra fun, because our fellow fulltime roadtrippin’ friend jenn was able to drive out from her campground to join us. lewis and clark is sort of a conglomeration of […]
goonies never say die!
as a child of the 80s, i grew up during what will likely be looked back upon by historians as the greatest decade in cinema of all time. one such example of superior movie making is the goonies. so, when we found ourselves at a campground near the locations where the goonies was filmed, i […]
tillamook creamery.
after our time in portland/vancouver, we headed back out to the coast, to seaside, oregon. it’s a little bit south of the washington state line and a little bit north of tillamook, home of the tillamook dairy products. so, naturally, when we found out there was a cheese factory you could tour and sample, we […]

my favorite quilt of all time.(scrappy rainbowy wonky star).
i have been wanting to make a quilt for a pretty good friend of mine, back in the great state of new york. when i mentioned this to her and asked for color preferences or pattern ideas, she pretty much told me to make something i would like, giving me complete artistic license, and i […]
the amazing oregon coast, continued.
when we woke up in brookings to beautiful weather and changed our travel plans to move up the coast versus heading inland, i decided to have an extrended travel day, stopping often to enjoy the beaches, scenery and some historic lighthouses. since isaac has not interest in such things, he rode with derek, and the […]
from california to oregon and happenings therein.
well, when i last posted, we were in the redwoods area of way northern california. from there, we moved up the coast a bit, crossing into oregon for a week on the coast. originally, we had planned a bit more time in another part of the redwoods, but we were worried about the internet, so […]
