The Sea and the Woods

Last weekend a dear friend and I adventured down to the Oregon coastline. 

The weather was foggy and wet, but it suited us well.

The best things about a girls trip is having ice cream for lunch two days in a row.  

This was Apsen's farthest trip from home. 

(Who is Aspen you ask? She is my 2003 Subaru Outback)

Cape Kiwanda

Meg and I grew up backpacking, so to us, car camping is a luxurious thing.

Portland Rose Garden

Portland is to be my home for the first half of 2014, I am quite the lucky gal.

 There has always been something about the sea and the woods that soothes me; the smell of the earth and salt water releases my mind from many heavy things. It was bliss.
