Escape from the Willamette Valley fog

The valley is fogged in and cold so my brother and I headed to the South Coast. Beautiful over there. We camped on the beach near Blacklock Pt one night and at Harris Beach SP another.

A week in Kona

Looking down into the Waipio Valley
 This year we spent Thanksgiving on the Big Island.  Despite so much to see on the island, we spent the week doing very little other than snorkeling and hanging out at the beach.  Little did we know what would be waiting for us on our return to the frigid PNW - a 100 degree temperature change!
