read about the trip

We're not big on heat, which is one of the many reasons we love the Pacific Northwest in general and Portland in particular. The vast majority of the time, it's fabulously temperate and despite what everyone says, has plenty of sunshine. But no place is immune from the occasional heat wave, not even the Eden that we call home.

Sixty miles east or west, though, and you're back in familiar temperatures, whether it's the Cascades to the east or the Oregon Coast to the west. Our preference is for the ocean most of the time, so we headed west. Into 65º temps and a dramatic fogbank out on the water.

The Pacific Ocean never disappoints.
