I was single until I was 31 years old. I was told I'd never get married because I was too picky. I thought being picky in choosing a life partner was a good thing and it turned out to be true.

Our next destination in Bend was really just a stop-over point on our way back to Wenatchee.  We could have driven a long day and gotten home in a one-day drive but we wanted to spend the morning with Tony & Lisa before the last leg of our trip.

I ha...

After our 2-day stay in Seaside, we headed down the Oregon coast toward Lincoln City, where we had a room booked for 1 night at the D Sands.  The drive from Seaside to Lincoln City is less than 100 miles, so it was a leisurely drive.  The Oregon coast is one of the most beautiful I've ever seen, ...

The Oregon coast was our main destination for this trip. After our "Atomic" stay in Astoria, we headed to Seaside, where we had reservations at the Hi-Tide Hotel on the beach. When I go to the beach, I want to be oceanfront... not oceanview or off the beach. We don't actually end up spending a lo...
