One Sweet World: July 2015
http://onesweet.blogspot.com/2015_07_01_archive.html
Monday, July 13, 2015. We started with a visit to the Tillamook Cheese Factory for an appetizer of cheese curds before slamming some clam chowder and oyster shooters at the seafood market across the street. The rest of the week was spent on the beaches North and South, in the restaurants of the small coastal towns, and in our hot tub. Bracing against the wind outside our hotel room in Rockaway Beach. Nehalem Bay State Park. Rewarded with this spectacular sunset our final evening. Carl and Tory Bauer.

One Sweet World: January 2015
http://onesweet.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html
Monday, January 19, 2015. We kicked off our first morning with a (camera-less) run in the expansive Stanley Park. We started on the perimeter of the park along the sea wall. This path has clearly divided lanes for pedestrians and bikes and the bike lane is unidirectional so bikers aren't risking head-on collisions around the many blind corners - way to go city planners! Edge of Stanley Park. We spent the rest of the morning exploring downtown on foot. Looking out toward English Bay. The next day was dedi...

One Sweet World: August 2014
http://onesweet.blogspot.com/2014_08_01_archive.html
Monday, August 11, 2014. Mount St. Helens mountain biking. Oh boy, did we get ambitious with this one. We set out to go 'bamping' which is the really creative. Nickname we have adopted for backpacking/camping trips on mountain bikes. The plan. A hike, or just. A ride, but with those packs and the heat it was a slog. We made it about 3 miles in and decided that crawling up this trail wasn't the best use of our time or our bikes! Views from South Coldwater Trail:. Tiptoeing through the tulips. In the 1980 ...

One Sweet World: S(L)Ojourn
http://onesweet.blogspot.com/2015/04/slojourn.html
Tuesday, April 14, 2015. In February we took a sibling trip to the sunny, happy, wonderful central coast of CA to visit the youngest sis in SLO. We hiked the coastline, bombed down sand dunes, wandered through town, soaked in the hot springs, dodged cooties in the dorms, and reminisced in the halls and rooftops of our alma mater. That place makes my heart sing. I am so. Glad we have an excuse to visit again. Bougainvillea on the patio at Linnaea's. Used hops and grains behind SLO Brew. Carl and Tory Bauer.

One Sweet World: March 2013
http://onesweet.blogspot.com/2013_03_01_archive.html
Tuesday, March 12, 2013. Iceland {Part VII, Fin}. Aaannnnddd we're back for the final Iceland post. Explore the city by foot. Eat good food, drink good beer, hear live music. Walk the campus of the University of Iceland. We did a lot of wandering this day. Down by the waterfront, around the old part of town, past the city cemetery, to the National Library (which was closed), through the university, and more. Adalstraeti 10, the oldest timber house in the city, built in 1764. Out on the spot. Fearing moth...

Sunday, July 21, 2013. We arrived in Cologne (my final destination with the family) with enough time to hit the major highlights. Early the next morning I was to catch a train to Brussels for my flight home, and they were headed on to Amsterdam. On our last day together we toured Cologne Cathedral, walked the city streets, snacked on pretzels and beer, and crisscrossed the Rhine. Another humble Roman Catholic church. View of the Rhine from a cathedral spire. Locks of love on Hohenzollern Bridge. We spent...

One Sweet World: December 2012
http://onesweet.blogspot.com/2012_12_01_archive.html
Thursday, December 13, 2012. Boat ride back to Bolungarvik. Drive South toward Reykjavik. See the sights in the Golden Circle. The first geyser to be written about by modern Europeans was a huge geyser in the Southwest of Iceland. Its name was Geysir and it was the geyser after which all other geysers were named! We made it to dry land and hit the road toward Reykjavik. Couldn't pass up Dynjandifoss. Pit stop at this farm and creamery with laser-guided milking machines! Is where the first parliament was ...

One Sweet World: Elk Mountain
http://onesweet.blogspot.com/2015/05/elk-mountain.html
Monday, May 18, 2015. Earlier this Spring we did a quick hike up Elk Mountain in the Tillamook State Forest ( here. There are two longer loops in this area, but after getting a late start we only had time for this out-and-back portion. Elk Mountain summit is at 2,788 feet and while it's a short hike, it is pretty dang. Strenuous - you have to ascend 1900 feet over only 1.5 miles, which feels like more of a scramble at times. The first steps foreshadowing what lies ahead. First lookout on a beautiful day.

Saturday, November 16, 2013. Snippets from our Fall 2012 trip to Wash DC and Maryland with Chris and Francis! We spent a day in DC, then drove out to the Conrad river house for some wine tasting, country walks, and good company. It's been about a year now.I think we're due for another trip.
