    Artsy on the Road: Trippin’ Down the Coast!

    If you’ve been reading along this week, you may recall my struggle to just let it go regarding  Mr. F’s next contract placement.  He finally interviewed for the position in a less than desirable area ( for us, anyway, we’ve heard some people love it ) and we were both prepared to give it a go.  But for Mr. F, his patient care and working ethically are always top priorities and it seemed like this particular position would stretch both outside the boundaries of what he is comfortable with.  So, we passed.

    We believe in taking advantage of any opportunity to exercise our sense of freedom & adventure, so Saturday morning, we leave for a week-long road trip down the West Coast!  We started planning out our trip last night and are excited to spend some time exploring the treasures along the Pacific.

    Now, this is where you come in!  Any suggestions for must see/ must do places/activities along the West Coast from let’s say Astoria, OR down to San Diego, CA?  We’ll be camping along the coast and are most interested in exploring the small towns, artsy spots and natural beauty along the way ( i.e. probably avoiding big cities ).  Have any suggestions for an Artsy & her Mr. Forager?  Let me know in the comments below!

    This Artsy Life: Weekend 12 [ Artsy & Mr. Forager Escape to the Sea ]

    In case there was ever any doubt ( which there never really was ), Mr. Forager & I have determined we are not desert people.  Sure we can appreciate the wide open space, days and days of sunshine, and night skies full of stars.  But we’ve been here in Joshua Tree for five months and we miss blue water and tall green trees!  We’re getting antsy to bid farewell to desert life.  So we were more than happy to escape to San Diego this weekend to visit with friends and soak up some sea air..

    Aaaahhh.. that’s better.  Maybe these last few days will get us through to our next visit, and then we’ll hopefully be headed somewhere very green!  Want to see more of our artsy life?  Follow me on Instagram!
