Cannon Beach

My mother visited from New York last month. We decided to take a short trip to Cannon Beach and stayed at the Surfsand Resort. Looking in the tide pools around Haystack Rock for marine life was a great time!

Camping at the Dunes

We visited the Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area last weekend and camped at the Eel Creek Campgrounds. This area is really amazing because within just a few miles there is half a dozen lakes, the ocean, the dunes and the Umpqua Lighthouse State Park. If you go, be sure to stop by Umpqua Aquaculture in Winchester Bay and have some of their oysters!

Honeymoon in the Philippines

Hank and I spent two weeks in the Philippines for our honeymoon. We stayed in a water cottage at the El Nido Resorts, located in the Bacuit Archipelago, Palawan. The archipelago is made up of 40 islands that you can explore. Only a few are inhabited. The area is still unspoiled by tourism and because it was declared a National Marine Reserve by the government, hopefully it will stay that way. Kayaking around the islands to the nearby lagoons was an unforgettable experience.
