Vacay in Florence, OR
We’re currently camping near the Oregon coast but I’ve decided to really make the effort to blog more once we get home. My plan once we’re back in Portland is basically to sit around working & waiting to pop out this baby (We’re almost at 34 weeks!) so I figure it’s a good time to hit some writing goals to keep busy. I’m hoping to really grow this blog in the next year, and to turn it into something I would really want to read and follow.
This week we’re tent camping and driving into town for wi-fi, etc – I’m currently at Old Town Coffee, which sells amazing drinks and brats (!), and the boys are at the laundromat. My favorite parts of beach towns are the local seafood and the thrifting. Thus far I bought a $3 pair of Rocket Dog boots to stay warm at the campsite, and Donny’s dad found a Levis pullover in great condition for $1.50. 
If you’re in Florence, I recommend their Goodwill as well as Linda’s Thrift Store. In general, thrift shopping on vacation is a great way to get unique souvenirs for cheap – You’re likely to find a variety of tees and sweatshirts from local organizations and sports teams, all with the name of the town you’re visiting screenprinted across the front, and for a tiny fraction of what a boring gift shop t-shirt costs.
Thrift and antique shopping are probably my favorite things to do out of town, and I’m also enjoying campout crafts. I did my very first ever tie dye yesterday and I’m excited to rinse it out and see how my shirt turned out! Tomorrow I’m having a henna design done on my belly. Much excitement!
no picture of j camping?? lol
Oooh, I thought you’d be offline the entire week! Anyway, you might want to check out projectwonderful.com =)

Never been to Florence! Which recognizable town or city is it close to? I live in Portland, but I’m not too educated on beach towns other than the big ones like Seaside and Newport.

Wow I can’t believe you’re almost going to have a baby soon. It’s funny how I knew you (through blogging) for so long, saw you get married and going to be a mommy soon.
