My husband looked at me on a Thursday afternoon and said "wanna go to Oregon?" so we got in the car and drove the 14 hours through the night to the little town of Bandon. One day I hope to live along the coast somewhere.

We spent the happiest 3 days in the small town my parents got engaged. Population of about 3000, this tiny place is probably one of my favorite places in the whole wide world. I loved seeing the beach where my dad popped question. We spent multiple evenings there eating pizza, studying the washed up jellyfish they get in the fall,  and taking some of my favorite photos with the help of my tripod and self timer.

Once the weekend ended, we packed our thing back up and drove the 14 hours home. This time we took the 'highway of waterfalls'. We stopped and hiked as many trails as we could along the way
