Vacation time!

2008 has been very busy so far and I am in need of some R&R, so I will be leaving early tomorrow morning on a week vacation....yea!!

First, Sandy and I are driving straight up to northern Oregon Saturday and Sunday to hike Multnomah Falls on Monday. Tuesday we are heading directly west to the northern Oregon coast, which is absolutely beautiful if you have not seen it before! We will continue to drive the Oregon coast down south to the Rogue River in Gold Beach, where we are stopping to take the ever famous Rogue River Jetboat Tour on Wednesday! Thursday morning we head out and drive the coast down into California and through the Redwoods, past San Francisco and finally arriving in Monterey. Friday morning we will check out the Monterey aquarium, and in the afternoon we are heading over to Carmel for some sight seeing. In the evening we set out again and drive the California coastline into San Luis Obispo, where we are stopping mainly for the food! If you are ever up in SLO, you have to check out the following restaurants:

Breakfast - The Breakfast Buzz
Lunch - Firestone
Dinner - Either Tsurugi's in downtown SLO, or Rosas in Pismo Beach (15 minutes down the 101 freeway)

There are many other great restaurants too, these are just a few of our favorites. Sandy went to Cal Poly up there and we fell in love with the town and its fine dining. Now we always look for a reason to go up!

After spending Saturday in SLO, we head out after dinner back to reality. It's gonna be a fun trip! Be sure to check back periodically for updates and pics (assuming that our hotels have working WIFI). Have a great weekend everyone!
