Fall Roadtrip

For about the last 15 years, my honey and I take a week off in the fall and again in the spring to travel. This started with us looking for a place to retire to, which now seems like even more of a pipe dream than before.

We have decided we like Flagstaff Arizona, but probably won't move there. We are too addicted to the ocean...wading into the surf, walking on the beach, just falling asleep to the sound of waves(in contrast to traffic noises, sirens, etc.). So we have travelled the west coast, from southern California to the Canada border.

This trip wasn't one of searching, as much as a return to someplace we found relaxing- near Newport Oregon.  Several days there was relaxing, then down the coast to Fort Bragg CA for a couple of days, and then home.

I have to say that as pretty the Oregon coast is, nearly every time we have been there is the same weather, rain, drizzle, rain. Winter, fall, spring, even in July.

So it seems we are leaning more and more towards the northern California coast...
