"Patrick's Point State Park, California" .  I loved this park, I am drooling over the shots now ...trying to decide what to share. This evening was just a perfect time. Back in Sept 2015. It was peaceful and a fun walk around the whole park. Loved the exercise. This was one of the last trips I used my old camera, which is now dead. A sad loss, but I have those to remember it by.  Enjoy this view from that day/evening. Thank you for stopping by. Beth ( :

Let's talk seafood. I love shrimp, eat fish often, not at home but usually if I am out at a restaurant and what not. My hubby was raised on the coast of Virginia, so you would think the man would enjoy seafood. NOPE, not one bit. He will try it but doesn't usually enjoy it like I do. I have tried crab. Never tried lobster or oysters, don't really plan on it either. Had a friend who got scallops & I tried a bit, didn't hate them but I don't think I need them again. We had calamari ("squid". why did I think that was octopus, maybe I have tried that too?) as an appetizer with friends. When trip planning the hubby knew we had to go to "Mo's AMEX" . & they are famous for their "clam chowder". So they hubby was like, I don't like seafood but this is what they are famous for... just saying we got a clam chowder to go and well as a dish while eating our meal. IT WAS DELICIOUS!! you have got to try it!! YUM, yum, Y...

"Enchanted Forest", Salem, Oregon . If you recall my post from when we were visiting Canada, we went to a "Enchanted Forest", Revelstoke, British Columbia . They are both so cute. Not sure if they are at all related or maybe some one saw one and took it to the other location and built to be very very similar? Either way they do bring out the kid in us all. If you are ever in the Salem, Oregon area please take the time to take your kids or if you are a big kid like me, drop on by! Beth ( :

Latourell Falls Sheppard's Dell Bridal Veil (video below) Multnomah Falls (gorgeous weather, tons of people every where, mid afternoon.) Multnomah Falls (pouring down rain, grey, maybe 3 people walking around,  5 including the 2 of us. early AM.) Horsetail Falls (video below) Elowah Falls (long hike, but well worth it when you get to the falls. video below.) If you know anything about me, you will know I love waterfalls, ALL waterfalls are great in my book. Since I was wee high to a grasshopper, I've seen pics of "Multnomah Falls" in travels books, I wondered if I would ever get to Oregon to see it, I never imagined that I would have the chance to mark it off my list.  I did narrow it down to 1 photo of each of these amazing waterfalls, please know their are tons more, but that would clog up the blog-sphere for years. Please don't miss out on the videos too, I would have loved to have...

Such a gorgeous vista, all high up and you can see for miles. Click this link for more history and info about the  "Vista House, Oregon" . What a view. Please enjoy!! It was a small parking lot with lots of folks visiting. Several gift shops (& bathrooms too!) are located throughout the Vista House. Beth ( :

I don't get why they call it "Haystack Rock", I have seen folks who pile up their hay like this, but to me it looks nothing of a haystack? Hay is nice and soft, this is a hard tough rock with lots of seagulls and seagull pooh on top. Just saying??!  Please enjoy the video from that day. So windy, an overcast day, & all the amazing sea creatures we got to see, which was so fun. I did try to get up close with a few seagulls, but they were not having it!! Guess they don't like getting social with people unless you have food?! All I wanted was a good picture??! Is that too much to ask? Beth ( :

What a gorgeous beach. We always make sure to check with the locals of where to go before we leave the state, & Ruby Beach was a must see for sure. Just amazing views to be seen. When we 1st got there the fog was there, & then it just rolled away in a very short time walking to the beach. it was wild!!! Very misty fog. Just amazing!!!  Check out this video of our walk along the beach. Enjoy! Beth ( :
