overlooking the oregon coast.

This weekend, we decided to just go outdoors to get away from the craziness that’s happening in the city and to try to distance us from other people.

We hiked Neahkahnie Mountain and ended the evening with a stunning sunset at Cannon Beach. We did this hike when we first moved here and it was amazing to come back. The view from Neahkahnie is absolutely breathtaking! It’s a little rocky at the top, so if you go, watch your step. Once you find a spot to sit, all you have to do is enjoy the view. 💙

The hike up to the top!

Stopping to look at these heart-shaped leaves!

These were the leaves I was looking at. 💚

 

Neahkahnie Mountain, Oregon Coast

We made it to the top!

Loveeeee this view. So peaceful to watch the waves from above.

Magical.

 

Cannon Beach, Oregon

This is such a classic spot in Oregon. As touristy as it can be, it’s such an amazing spot to visit and spend the evening. Last night was an example of how beautiful it is there. The pinks, purples, blues, yellows, and oranges in the sunset were a sight to see.

Sometimes you just gotta be a tourist in your own state.

I see a lot of people being like, “I would survive the coronavirus. I’m taking my chances.”

The way I see it is yeah, I’d survive it. But I might carry it to someone who wouldn’t. And that, folks, is the problem.

There’s a lot of hysteria going on right now regarding coronavirus, which is understandable to some degree. Michael and I both work in healthcare, and I work directly with immuno-compromised cancer patients. It’s definitely weighing heavy on my mind that even though I have a very small chance of becoming severely ill from this, I could potentially carry the virus to my patients. Michael and I are trying to distance ourselves from people as much as we can. The temporary sacrifice is worth it, especially if it can help in anyway.

I’m hoping people are staying safe, being smart, and thinking practically in the next few weeks as it this unfolds even more. 💙
