after leaving cottage grove i traveled up to portland to have a short visit with my high school friend lauren
lauren and i are both ami certified montessori teachers so we have a lot in common— we were also both really into art, track and clothes back in the day!
it was so wonderful seeing her in-home montessori school, little fruit farm— we took a day and drove out to the coast and had lunch at a cool old roadside restaurant— so many gorgeous views!— so many stories to share!
i was excited to share my crow puppet with her class
july 4th weekend i spent a couple nights up at L.L. stub stewart state park— it was my first time in a campground with my vardo!— it was so beautiful and a peaceful escape from all the chaos of fireworks in the neighborhoods
i went hiking and saw so many enchanting sights— there was way more to explore than i had time for and i was sad to leave, but onward to olympia!
the ghost orchids were just beginning to bloom!
