San Juan Islands Bike Trip pictures

I'm finally done sorting through the pictures from the bike trip Jamey and I took in the San Juan Islands. I take a shitload of pictures every vacation, mostly because I'm not happy with the "automatic" setting on my Canon PowerShot A630.

Fortunes from the sky

Jamey and I will be biking the San Juan Islands to celebrate our first anniversary. Today I decided to go to the central library to check out some travel books on the subject.

Lincoln City, OR beach trip

This past weekend, my Grandma Bailey turned 80. My family took my grandma to Lincoln City to celebrate. It was a wonderful trip, and it felt good to spend time with my family.

Highlights:

  • The house we rented had spectacular views, crazy stairs down to the beach, and an enclosed hot tub by the cliff.
  • Depot Bay has an interesting harbor, but the shops are boring unless you like trinkets and knick-knacks. I was disappointed that I spent more time shopping than on the beach.
