So after a few days of….hmmm….golf, yeah that’s it! After a few days of golf
I think it’s time to head to the coast. I need to feel the sand between my toes and hear the ocean outside my window….sigh..
So, I point my truck’s nose toward the west and off I go
Washington is soooo beautiful, but I love Oregon even more. I grew up in Pennsylvania and sometimes I just need to have trees around me for a little while. Utah has trees, don’t get me wrong, but Oregon has TREES, the kind of trees I remember growing up
After several hours of driving, I make it to Astoria which is a cute little town pretty much at the top of Oregon. I love it here…
There is a view area in town where you can go and see the mighty Columbia in all her glory. Maybe that’s the other reason that I love it here, the river. This is a river like the ones I remember as a girl back east.
I love it here!
Ah yes, beautiful trees and mountains and …then you share such beautiful beaches and water..
Enjoy your travels! Stay safe!
Blessings & Aloha!
Oh! I would like heading west myself! Oregon sounds beautiful. It looks beautiful too. 🙂
So beautiful! I love trees and the ocean too! My hubby loves to golf too! Enjoy your day Sweetie! Really enjoying your photo’s. Hugs!
What wonderful views! I love that you just point your truck and drive.
What beautiful scenery~ I love your photo with the tree shadows across the road and sunshine highlighting the ferns! I would love to visit that part of the country~

Great pics, it looks beautiful-have fun:@)
I’ve gotta head south and then West because I still haven’t made it to the Oregon Coast. Lovely photos. “Hey you guys” Did you ever watch Goonies??
Nothing is better than the seashore. Total bliss! Have a great time!
Oregon looks wonderful…one state I haven’t been to yet. I hear the sea stacks are a very impressive sight!
Lovely images.
What beautiful pictures! I love the trees and mountains. I miss seeing elevation…here it’s very flat.
Great pictures! I hope you got a hole in one on your golf rounds. 🙂
Gorgeous! I love, love, love the ocean too.
I love Astoria! The view of the bridge is one I know well. Are you going to drive up to Long Beach WA? There’s a cute little town called Illwaco, not far at all from Astoria. It sounds like you’re having a wonderful trip!
I love either coast….but I live on the east coast and it’s heaven when you’re looking at the ocean, isn’t it?
These are nothing short of breathtaking!
=)
Wow, how beautiful the scenery looks! That’s definitely one thing I miss living in the city…all those beautiful trees and nature 🙂 Looks like your trip is going along pretty well!
That picture of the mountains is awesome. It makes the Ozarks look like rolling hills.
Stunning views! I’ve never been to Utah or Oregon, so I’m off to peruse more of your adventure.
The Columbia is a fine river, but you haven’t seen anything til you’ve seen the Umpqua River in Douglas County Oregon. It is way beyond gorgeous, and just about out my backdoor.
Beautiful photos. I love Astoria too, though i haven’t been there for quite a while.
Oregon has always reminded me of Ohio and Pennsylvania, too! I love the grand old trees and the sweet farmhouses tucked away around every turn.
Thanks for the happy memories this week!
I loved visiting you this week.
A+
Love love LOVE your pictures! I grew up in Oregon and we’re now living in the desert of New Mexico. We’re going home to Oregon for a visit in July and I CAN’T wait!
I’ve never been to the northwest. I would love to visit. Your photos are wonderful!
So pretty. I remember when I traveled there thinking, oh my gosh, those trees are freaking HUGE.
I didn’t know you grew up in PA – I grew up in Lancaster County. Now we both love the west. Hope the rain has stopped for you.
I just love seeing your travel photos!! What fun!!
