Pacific Coast Camp 2013 Pt. 1

     The trip to Southern California is always fun especially in the Ventura area. The California Coast is truely amazing.
     First on the list was to visit  Joe Peeps Pizza fantastic pizza :-)  We also had some time to visit some beautiful scenery at a State Park in Ventura. The view is so incredible...my husband grew up in this area, so it was fun to take the boys to a few spots that were significant to my husband in his childhood.

Portland Trails

Oregon is an amazing green State, the evergreen trees and amazing foliage of so many different types of trees, makes a beautiful view at any season!!  We went walking on a short trail in Portland, and again were reminded of the beauty that this grand State of Oregon holds.

Elephants Delicatessen

This is the greatest deli in Portland, of which there are several locations but I love this one on                NW 22nd Elephant's Delicatessen. They have different stations throughout the restaurant depending upon what you want to eat. Pizza, sandwiches, sides, cheeses, bakery....the options are endless.

The only drawback is, if your party is eating different items your food is ready at different times, so you either wait and have cold food or eat ahead of everyone else.

I haven't mentioned the best part of this establishment....the gifts, home decor, table decorations, cards and stationary.  I find it hard to eat with all this beauty intertwined between all the food. I just want to window shop the whole time I am here!!

1940's Youth Dinner

The youth had a 1940's dress up evening, with a dinner and skit.  The best part was going over to my moms house and digging out hats and ties from "my grandpa's" era.  Oh the fun plus all the other stuff they got to looking at while at my moms house....full of memories!!!
