I spent July finishing off The House of Night series. If you’re wondering what I’m talking about, see my post about my June books. I am free from this series! First and foremost, this series was 12 books long… Which is at least 7 books too long. The series was incredibly repetitive and could haveContinue reading “July 2022 in Books”

The Movie Was Better.
Finding a movie that is better than the book is rare. It’s like finding a four leaf clover or a pit bull who actually understands that they’re not a 5lb lap dog. As you know, I’m a book junkie. I love reading. And nothing is more terrifying than seeing a book you love turned intoContinue reading “The Movie Was Better.”
June 2022 in Books
When I met my niece, I knew I had to make her a mini me. So far, so good. Honestly, maybe too good. A few months ago, she started reading a Young Adult vampire series one of my aunts had given her. She became obsessed and handed all 17 books over to me. Wonderful. ForContinue reading “June 2022 in Books”
Restaurants: Road Trip Style
I love food. There’s really no ifs, ands, or buts here. I feel like a big part of a trip is eating at new places. The Greek in me insists that the best way to get to know a culture is through food. Taking people to restaurants I love is part of my love language.Continue reading “Restaurants: Road Trip Style”
May 2022 in Books
As you all know, May was our RV Roadtrip Adventure. I came prepared… with a ton of books. I am proud to say that I did finish (almost) all the books I brought on the adventure (although I finished off the last one back at home). One of them ended up being one my absoluteContinue reading “May 2022 in Books”
Road Trip Stop #5: Olympic National Park
We stayed 3 days and 3 nights at the Sol Duc Hot Springs Resort. Maybe I was spoiled on our first two stops but this trip has taught me that I only want to go to RV sites that have full hook ups. Not being able to “dump” (pun intended) whenever you want it aContinue reading “Road Trip Stop #5: Olympic National Park”
Road Trip Stop #4: Portland, OR… I mean, Estacada, OR
This was our shortest stay. We spent 2 days and 2 nights at the Milo McIver State Park. This was another state park we came to so Jacob could play disc golf. It’s only about 40 minutes from Portland, so I couldn’t complain. The property itself wasn’t my favorite. It was very much a campgroundContinue reading “Road Trip Stop #4: Portland, OR… I mean, Estacada, OR”
Road Trip Stop #3: Roseburg, OR
We stayed at Whistler’s Bend County Park Campground for 5 days and 5 nights. I am not going to lie. When we pulled into this campground, after our first 2 Private RV spots, I was skeptical. When I found out that neither of us had service (therefore, we couldn’t use Jacob’s Hot Spot for wifiContinue reading “Road Trip Stop #3: Roseburg, OR”
Road Trip Stop #2: Gold Beach, OR
We spent 4.5 days and 4 nights at Turtle Rock RV Resort in Gold Beach, Oregon. Hi. This place has private decks with hot tubs on them. That’s all. That’s the sell. Go book a spot now. They even have cottages/cabins in case you don’t have a trailer! There was a short walk over toContinue reading “Road Trip Stop #2: Gold Beach, OR”
Road Trip Stop #1: Klamath, CA
We spent 5 days and 6 nights at the Klamath River RV Park. I love camping. As a kid, we were camping all the time. It was cheap (once you buy all the camping gear), easy, dogs were allowed, and everyone loves campfires. Obviously, this is well before the internet era when your entertainment wasContinue reading “Road Trip Stop #1: Klamath, CA”
