unintentional glamping

'rica and i ventured to Ft. Stevens State Park on the Oregon coast this weekend.  we were praying for an open yurt when we finally got to the ranger station.  we ended up with a cabin.  "it's number 11.  you'll really like it!!!", ranger lady told us.

11 !!!

she wasn't lying!  two rooms! comfy futon! refrigerator! bathroom and shower!!!  there were deer tracks right outside our porch, ferns and mushrooms.....treat yourself!

what glamping looks like.

we also went to astoria.  i had never been but now i am certain that i am, in fact, a goonie for life.
scene: homegirls go thrifting
"oh hey 'rica do i really need all these adorable porcelain tea cups with matching saucers?"
"treat yourself, sara!"
"sara! i just found an AMAZING vintage sewing machine for $50!"
"girl! you KNOW you better treat yoself!"

treachaself!

shipwreck and the battery russell...

treat yourself!  it's a lifestyle.
