My Budget Cabana

I’ve spent a lot of time relaxing & reading on this swing latey. It is great except that around 4pm the umbrella is useless. That is usually the time I want to be out there so I have “installed” curtains to block out the sun in the afternoons. Gotta love Ikea and their cheapo $20 curtain sets. I think it turned out cute. The dogs like it too.

Back from Vacation!

We had an amazing time during our 2 week trip up the coast. We borrowed my aunts T@B trailer and headed to Portland Oregon. T@B campers are super rad, we need to get one of these for ourselves. We camped up and down the coast stopping at Morro Bay, Half Moon Bay, Redwood Forest, Port Orford (great fish tacos), Santa Cruz & a couple other places I know I’m forgetting at the moment.

Portland was fabulous. Our gracious hosts Nancy & Matt showed us around town. It's a very cool place! Portland is very high on the list when we decide to move somewhere else.

Here is a shot of our campsite in the Redwood forest. I’m not sure where Don is but perhaps you can find Elvis in the photo… Hint, he isn't very fond of nature.
