Name That Oregon Attraction
As I mentioned, we have my daughter’s godparents here for a visit. I was excited about them being here in October, since the weather is usually so paradise-like. I had not been counting on the things being in the 90s here, though. It’s been flat out hot for October. We all broke into a sweat walking from the car to the salad bar place today. That was absolutely not on the itinerary. I had it in mind to show them all the best places to enjoy our perfect weather. Don’t get me wrong. The skies were still blue and the breezes fragrant. It was just a little hotter than the norm.
So, we all got to talking about some of the places in the U.S. known for balmier weather. Heat will make you dreamer about cooler frontiers. Cami brought up a mutual friend of ours who lives in Oregon. I’ve never been out there, so the conversation turned into a contest of trying to name cities and other attractions in Oregon. In the end, I think we all agreed that a visit would be nice right about now.
I’ve said it over and over that I don’t like to stay in hotels as much as I like to try to find a condo or a vacation home to rent, when I can. For about the same price, you can usually find all the comforts of home if you look hard enough. I came home and looked online and I found an entire site that lists oregon coast vacation rentals. The first place I saw on the properties page sleeps 12 and goes for less money a night than the hotel where the godparents tried to book down the road here the first night they were in town. All that and a nice, balmy northwestern autumn — it sounds blissful.
