After months of staying at home and sheltering during the pandemic, I just couldn’t take it any more. I had to get out of the city and see fresh scenery and recharge. Making sure to remain socially distanced and take every precaution while traveling, I was able to drive along the gorgeous Oregon coastline and enjoy some much needed R&R. This is a mini-documentary about my journey!

I had a wonderful time visiting the coastal town of Florence, Oregon. There’s a special sweet spirit there that soothes the soul.
I needed a break from the stress and worries of city life, so I headed to the beach…Oregon style! Cannon Beach is without a doubt one of my favorite places on the Oregon coast. If I could afford to buy a vacation home here—I probably would!

I got here at my favorite time: when the tide rolls out and you can see a splendid network of rocks and tide pools. Great day at the beach 🧡
Take pleasure in this natural treasure!
Embrace your river. Get into it.

When the day goes down on the water town
When the sun sinks low all around
That’s when I know I, I need you now
Yes you’re what I miss
Every little kiss
Every little one, every little one

Some days are just #nofilter days! Wow 🤩

I’ve always driven up to Seattle, but this time I took the train. Was it worth it?
Also some grand views of the Puget Sound, Seattle Public Library, King Street Station, and other Emerald City highlights. Plus a vlog-related mishap at my hotel! :0

I could live here. I don’t mean in Portland, I mean literally on this boardwalk overlooking the bridge and the river at twilight. 🥰❤️🌃
A path was hewn through a fallen evergreen on my journey through Washington Park. I was struck by the beauty and history of this former giant. Respect.
Naito Parkway is one of the most scenic routes through downtown Portland, following the edge of the Willamette River. I always love seeing it when viewed from the Lovejoy Ramp above.
