Rager Roadtrip! :D

What an AWESOME trip!

So we're back in Van City after about 11 hours of driving from Coos Bay, Oregon!

We made it as far down to Jedidiah Redwoods State Park and it was uh. Mayzing. Had the time of my life. Brian's friends from Ottawa, Doug and Jane plus baby Arthur came and traveled as far as to Oswald State Park Beach in Oregon with us and then they had to head back to Vancouver.

Here's an outline of our journey:

Day 1 = Drive to Seattle, Washington and stay the night.
Day 2 = Drive to Portland, Oregon and meet up with Doug, Jane, and four month old adorable Arthur.
Day 3 = Drive to Fort Stevens Campsite in Oregon with the crew.
Day 4 = Visit Cannon Beach and Oswald Beach, Oregon. Say goodbye to the Anastos clan and trek on to Honeyman State Park Campsite, Oregon.
Day 5 = Soak up some rays at the dunes and then drive down to Jedidiah Redwoods State Park Campsite, California.
Day 6 = Head back north to the Sunset Bay Campsite and spend the last night in Oregon.
Day 7 = Drive the grueling 11 hours back to Vancouver

Whew! Makes me tired just typing it! Picture time!

Arrrrrthur!

Too stinkin' cute!

Croquet -- Conquered!

Currently in Portlandia but don't have time for a full on update post.


I leave you with some pics of this past weekend in Vancouver: hanging with our awesome landlord (who is just FABULOUS! I want to be her when I grow up) and my first ever croquet experience with Sean and Michele.... that I almost WON! :)

Poppin' some bubbly with Regina and Katalyn. Check out Regina's rockin' fascinator!

Pic in the lovely garden.

The drink of choice.

CROQUET TIME!

Sean does all the work of setting up the course.

Mallet-wielding machines!

Close up!

Post croquet drinks at the King's Head Tavern!
The plan for today is to see the best of Portland and then head over to Fort Stevens campsite with Jane and Doug and get our nature on!!! Stoked! Can't wait to be roasting s'mores and wieners over the campfire! :)

More updates to come!
