I'd rather be camping..

Since we moved to the Great Pacific Northwest we have spent almost every spare weekend outside exploring our new stomping grounds. So far over the last six months we have been to:

Portland, Oregon (explored the weekend market)

Cannon Beach and the Oregon Coast (saw where they filmed The Goonies!)

Willamette Valley and Mt. Hood (saw the lodge where The Shining was filmed and played in the snow)

Mt. St. Helens Volcano (stopped by the visitor's center and a stroll around the lake)

Olympic National Park (where we went camping in the rain, in a rain forest)

Mt. Rainier (where I lost my camera, and snow banks taller than me in June!)

Cascades National Park (went on a magical sub-alpine hike with the wild flowers blooming)

Vancouver, British Columbia and Squamish BC (the week before the Stanley Cup Hockey riots)

Victoria, BC (The capital and victorian city)

Kayaking in the San Juan Islands (turns out Kimbrough and I are expert kayakers )
