Oregon

Visiting new places is always exciting for me- so the jetBlue pass brought me from Portland, maine to Portland, Oregon so I could check out the Pacific Northwest for the frist time- and its beautiful! I had the chance to breeze through downtown Portland and enjoy a super cheap but super delicious street cart lunch from one of Portland's famous street-cart vendors. I then headed on the scenic route through the outskirts of wine country to Tillamook on the Oregon Coast. The giant rocks that protrude from Orgeon's scenic coast are amazing!

I settled in at the quaint Cannon Beach Hotel in the sleepy coastal town with a great deal- just $75/night for a beautiful double room with breakfast (reg. $185/night). They even had homemade choc chip cookies at check in and beach chairs available to take to the beach.
Im so glad I finally got to see this part of the country and highly recommend it for a relaxing escape from East Coast stress. Everyone is so laid back and nice here- its going to be hard to leave.
Luckily, I'm fairly certain my next destination is on par with laid-back chill-ness :)
