Thursday Thoughts - Water
When I sit next to a body of water, I relax. The noise is calming, the smells are often refreshing, and the sky is soothing. Enjoy some photos from California in 2016 as I watched the sun set on my way back from Oregon Caves National Monument. (stay tuned for a post about that place tomorrow!)
Does the water bring you peace? If not the water, where do you go outside for peace and relaxation? Growing up on the Great Lakes, I was never far from soothing sights. Enjoy!
Special #ThrowbackThursday - Alaskan Adventure
A year ago my other half and I were probably napping after our flight back from Alaska. We spent about 10 days visiting with his family, exploring the land, and loving life. I can't wait to get back up there, so I'm sharing a few photos to relive the moments until then. Enjoy!

#ForestFriday - Cape Flattery
"Walking through the forest on the west coast will always be a treat to me"
Today I'm looking back on a 2009 trip to the northwest tip of the contiguous US. Two of my best friends and I were on one of our cross-country road trips and decided we needed to see Cape Flattery - if for no other reason than to say we went to one of the most northwest tips of the US. The forest was lovely, as forests are, but I can still remember being amazed by the turquoise water crashing on the rocks below more than anything else. I've attached a few photos of the trail and the views.
To park in the lot with the trailhead, you need to obtain a permit from the Makah Reservation. I've included a link to get more information about where to find that pass and a little background on the Makah Tribe.
