There's a gluten free bakery that a lot of people recommend! <br /><br />We will be driving down the coast so I'll be sure to stop in Astoria. I heard it's beautiful. My husband loves beer and if they have a gluten free one, then it's perfect!<br /><br />We'll be in Ashland for 2 nights and I love thrifting, so yay!! <br /><br />I've never heard of it either until I searched for camping in Utah. There's a huge lake that the camping is on, so I'm pretty excited. And it's actually not too hot where I live since I'm in the mountains! Our high here is usually around 85-90 but it doesn't get that hot very often and we get TONS of snow. A couple years ago we had more snow than any place in the country, including Alaska!<br /><br />And I'm SO glad you mentioned Newport. Since seeing the pictures I wanted to look at it but I forgot about it until you mentioned it again! That would be crazy to see.<br /><br />Thank you for the recommends!!Steffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14387523324618066104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8995146119259838439.post-37389713745307477742012-06-30T13:37:37.846-06:002012-06-30T13:37:37.846-06:00In Seattle you must (of course) check out Pike'...In Seattle you must (of course) check out Pike's Place Market. If you are driving down the coast and go through Astoria (which is where The Goonies was filmed) then I definitely suggest Fort George Brewery, it's fantastic. I also suggest checking out the McMenamins website, they have a lot of locations throughout Washington and Oregon, and every one that I have been to is amazing. I've never been to Ashland, but I hear that the thrift shopping is fantastic.<br /><br />I am from Utah, but I have never heard of Yuba Lake State Park. It'll probably be crazy hot, but living in AZ, you are probably used to that ;)<br /><br />Also, if you drive through Newport which is along the Pacific Coast Highway, you can stop and see that giant Japanese dock that washed up.<br /><br />I hope you guys have a fantastic time! It's such a great time of year for a road trip, and you are going to a lot of great places!Madihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05338162776310161137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8995146119259838439.post-10951721453125938082012-06-14T21:29:40.611-06:002012-06-14T21:29:40.611-06:00Ooo I'm really digging her! I've been list...Ooo I'm really digging her! I've been listening to a few songs on youtube and she's awesome!<br /><br />We're going all the way up to Washington! We're quickly going up through Utah (staying a night at Yuba Lake State Park and a night at Hat Rock Campground along the Columbia River) to Seattle. Then we're coming slowly down the coast going through California, so pass on your hints! The major cities we're going to stay in will be Seattle, Hood River, Ashland, Coos Bay, San Francisco, Santa Cruz and Laguna Beach/LA. We want to make the drive fun though and see as many things as possible!Steffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14387523324618066104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8995146119259838439.post-59791492102046261082012-06-14T17:01:14.184-06:002012-06-14T17:01:14.184-06:00If you like Cat Power and women with strong voices...If you like Cat Power and women with strong voices, you should totally check out Jenny Lewis. she is probably my favorite singer of all time. I love her band Rilo Kiley. It's good stuff. You guys are road tripping to Oregon, right? Through Utah or Cali? I can give you a few hints of places to check out if you'd like. :)Madihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05338162776310161137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8995146119259838439.post-77155191398527214492012-06-14T15:58:04.497-06:002012-06-14T15:58:04.497-06:00I love being able to give her back to my sister ha...I love being able to give her back to my sister haha It can get so tiring!Steffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14387523324618066104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8995146119259838439.post-41446902557159458692012-06-14T15:57:40.548-06:002012-06-14T15:57:40.548-06:00Thanks!

It's nice to have kids around that aren't your own LOL because then you get to take them out and have fun with them whenever they're around. And it never gets old seeing how fast kids grow. It's kind of bittersweet, and that's cliche of me to say. <br /><br />ANYWAY! I listened to 'I don't blame you' and OH GOD IT'S SO GOOD YES. THIS. I am glad I stumbled upon Cat Power! But we can really technically thank Jeremy Renner.

I always miss out on big chunks of it, but I can't wait to have my own little one and watch them learn and grow each and every day!Sara Lucinda Bellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17371224761784993570noreply@blogger.com
