When in Southern California in the winter, it is best to spend as much time outside as possible. We went for a hike at Torrey Pines State Park, a beautiful park that starts in the hills with trails leading down to the beach. The views were incredible, to say the least. We even saw some…
a mini-vacation (day 2).
The great thing about staying at a B&B is the real breakfast. Jerry, our breakfast chef extraordinaire, whipped up an enormous meal of chicken apple sausage, croissant french toast, scrambled eggs, fresh fruit, orange juice, and coffee. And since we were the only guests, Jerry served as our breakfast entertainment as well. A few fun…
touring oregon with the family (day 1).
Eric’s parents and sister came to visit over the weekend, acting as our first guests in this new state. Of course, this gave us a great excuse to get out and explore. We started our Friday morning with breakfast at Glenwood Restaurant, where Eric and I ate on our University of Oregon visit a little…
a wrap up of this week’s best.
Here are a few great things that happened this past week: 1. “Safety Not Guaranteed.” We really wanted to see this movie when it came out in theaters a few months ago, but since it’s an indie film, it wasn’t showing in Kentucky at the time. But now it’s in Redbox (woo!) and we finally…
hiking spencer butte.
It’s Saturday, which means that it’s an Ally-day. Ally-days are the best because I get Eric all to myself for a full day of exploring and fun (although I will admit that I shared today with an Oregon football game). We started our morning with a walk down the street to the Humble Bagel Company…
waterfalls and ocean waves.
In our attempt to fit in everything awesome while the weather is nice, we checked two things off our “Oregon to-do” list on Saturday. A hiking trip to Kentucky Falls and a visit to the Oregon coastline. We were also celebrating our 6-year dating anniversary, which seemed to require an adventure of this magnitude. We…
hike to the blue pool.
We had a very “Oregon” Saturday. We started our morning at the Saturday Market. I had heard mixed reviews about this market, some of which warned us that it might make us want to move back to Kentucky. Fortunately, or unfortunately, depending on how you look at it, the market wasn’t weird. It was mostly…
the weekend.
I’m really beginning to love weekends. I guess I’ve always loved weekends because they have been school-free zones, but now that they are also homework-free, they are even more enjoyable! This weekend came with the bonus of glorious weather, so we tried to spend as much time outside as possible. On Friday evening, we headed…
a sunday hike.
It’s finally warm! The temperature topped 50 degrees on Sunday, so Eric and I headed out for a hike in Shaker Village (just another stop on our tour of Kentucky). We visited Shaker Village a few months ago and enjoyed the cute little craft stores and freshly baked cookies. We picked up a map of…
