Welcome to my Blog

I created this space to post my thoughts and photos. It began in 2012 with my travels to New Zealand, Tasmania and living and studying in Australia then continued back to Canada with my return home to Edmonton and moving to Victoria, British Columbia. Join me on the journey. Post a comment!

Beautiful Beaches

Keith and I just finished a wonderful week long trip south. We traveled down the west coast of Washington State and in Olympic National Park then continued down the northern Oregon Coast before heading east to Portland then north to Anacortes where we caught a ferry back home.

Our main reason for taking this trip was to see Stefanie while she is on a school break, between her first and second year.  But we also wanted to cross off something on our bucket list, the Oregon Coast, a trip we have wanted to do for a very long time.

It was the beautiful beaches and vistas that attracted us, similar to the Great Ocean Road we traveled in South Australia in 2012. The views did not disappoint!
