By the time you read this, I'll be...on "vacation". As you may or may not know, my husband grew up on the Oregon coast and loves it desperately. My dad was raised in Oregon and while I wasn't born there he instilled in my a love for the coast as well. So my husband and I have been traveling to Oregon once a year, at least, for a few years now and driving up and down the coast visiting our favorite spots.
Our plan was eventually to retire to the coast. Yes, there's the rain but look at that view! ^ ^ And these sunsets!
We love it so much! So, it's with great happiness that I tell you of our happy news! We purchased a vacation house on the beach! I'm absolutely thrilled! So this weekend, by the time you read this, we'll be driving (*whimpers* I hate driving) a load of furnishings to our new vacation home. We plan to do the whole Airbnb thing as soon as we can which is great income and also leaves it available for when we want to get away...several more times than once a year now.
I'm not writing this to gloat (well, not totally) but to let you know it might be quiet around here for a while. All the prepping seriously cut into my reading time so after playing catch up with reviews the last two weeks you'll notice a lull. Not that you'll mind but, you know, I'm telling you anyway. Hopefully the blog will be back to "normal" around mid September.
In the mean time, wish us luck on the LONG drive and have a great Labor Day Weekend! (to my American friends)
I'm SO jealous!! I've never been to Oregon, but I really really really really really really want to go! I want to go where it is gray and raining all the time.
ReplyDeleteI love it. It does rain a lot but not as much as you’d think.
DeleteCongratulations, Jenny!! This is such exciting news! That's amazing that you found a long-term solution for your travels to Oregon and I hope it will serve you well for a long time :)

DeleteAh! This is so exciting!! Enjoy!!
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteLooks beautiful! I hope you have an amazing and safe vacation.
ReplyDeleteThank you.
DeleteVery cool! I love how forest-y things are up in the Northwest. I can't remember the coast up there, but I live near the coast in Southern California, so it's just normal to me. Still, beautiful, of course. I hope you have a great vacation for however long it lasts. My blog vacation has become a hiatus/sabbatical at this point.
ReplyDeleteYes, I love the forests too. It’s one of my favorite things about the northwestern coast.
DeleteCongratulations! Wow, it looks beautiful in your photos. That sounds absolutely amazing.
ReplyDeleteThanks. I’m so excited.
DeleteOoh congrats on getting the vacation house! Sounds awesome. And I've never been to the Oregon coast but I've heard it's beautiful (and the pics I've seen definitely confirm it). Hope you have an easy drive and a great Labor Day!!
ReplyDeleteThanks. It was a good trip.
DeleteCongrats on your vacation house! And I love the pics - so beautiful! Enjoy your vacation!

DeleteAWESOME news! I love the Oregon Coast, so I totally get your love for it. And how fun that you'll have your own place to stay. That will make it an even more enjoyable getaway!
ReplyDeleteExactly. I’m very excited. Oregon is so different than Utah and Arizona. I love it.
DeleteI hope your trip was great. Enjoy your new vacation home!
ReplyDeleteIt was a good trip.
DeleteThat is awesome!!! I've never been to Oregon, but it's one of those state's I'd happily move to if the opportunity arose. I'm so glad you got to purchase a vacation home without having to wait until retirement, and good luck on your AirBnb adventures!
ReplyDeleteI’m glad too. We’re super excited.
