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”
Once Upon a Time, there was a girl with no chill and lack of understanding her limits and boundaries. So her husband planned a month long road trip in the hopes of forcing her to chill and actually set real boundaries. And they lived happily ever after. The end.
[jk it’s not the end guys] It’s March 2020. The United States is in a lockdown that we thought would be 2 weeks. You mean I don’t have to sit in traffic for 2 weeks? Sign me up. I remember asking my fiance (now husband) if he thought it would last until Memorial Day. HeContinue reading “Once Upon a Time, there was a girl with no chill and lack of understanding her limits and boundaries.
