My favorite places and places I want to go!

here are different places in Oregon that I love to travel to:

1. Oregon Coast:
Lincoln City and Newport are among the best places on the Oregon coast! With the Oregon Coast Aquarium, the Wax Museum and the vast miles of open beaches, it rates #1 for Oregon beaches in my book.
Here are some pictures!
this is Lincoln City on an overcast day.
I love overcast weather at the beach! Get in a sweater and some jeans and scour the coast for shells!
Here's a semi sunny day at the beach. As you can see, even a partially sunny day on the Oregon coast brings out the people and fun activities!
Here is a beautiful picture of Newport, Oregon. The arena offers boat and toy rentals!
here is a picture of the Aquina Head lighthouse in Newport, Oregon. One of my favorite places to visit if you like looking at old Oregon history.

2. Cougar Hot Springs, Oregon:
I love visiting Cougar Hot Springs which is about 35 miles East of Eugene, Oregon. Especially in the winter months! dip into a nice hot tub full of fresh water that you can see coming out of the side of the mountain and look up at the stars. Very relaxing!

As you can see the hot springs are very secluded and very natural looking. It's about a half mile hike out and clothing optional... so maybe not so kid friendly. :)

3. Portland, Oregon:
Just the people watching in Portland alone is worth the trip! Not to mention the shopping, sightseeing and even history tours you can take there.

  If you're looking for something a little less rural than the beach or the hot springs, as you can see, Portland is the place to be! with over a million people including all suburbs, Portland has everything you would want to do!
Rose Garden. You can watch basketball games from the Portland Trail Blazers. Or a concert by your favorite singer at the Rose Garden!
