Even though we didn't find any clams we still had an amazing time and luckily John had brought along a kite which was super exciting since Eileen and I had never flown one before. We felt like kids and I couldn't help but hum the song "<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BA-g8YYPKVo">Let's Go Fly a Kite</a>" from Mary Poppins. <div>

After an afternoon at the beach we headed into town and had some delicious Tillmook ice cream, only $1 for two scoops. </div>

Saddle Mountain is a very popular hike in Oregon, it's about a 5.2 mile hike (elevation: 1600 ft) but it is quite strenuous. There are quite a bit of steep areas that you must travel on and the path can be rocky and slick in spots. The view at the top is totally worth it though! On a clear day you can see where the Columbia river flows into the ocean and you can catch a glimpse of Mt. Rainier, Mt. St. Helens, Mt. Hood and Mt. Jefferson. Below are some pics of Saddle Mountain all the Seaside pics will be on the next post!<br />

If you are ever in Northwest Oregon, I would definitely recommend this hike, it's pretty rigorous but the view at the top is breathtaking.<br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">I love actual books and the gorgeous covers and the feel of the pages but I hate clutter so I read 95% of books on my ipad or kindle. Just a preference, I guess, what about you? How do you like to read your books? </td></tr>

Sunday in between errands I read the book <a href="http://www.amazon.com/We-Were-Liars-E-Lockhart/dp/038574126X">We Were Liars</a> by E. Lockhart and oh my goodness I could not put it down. The car ride with my husband to and from places was dead silent because I was so into this book. It's a super quick read, it's only about 200 pages, so depending on how fast you read it may take you 2-4 hrs.<br />
<br />
I decided to read this book because it was recommended by <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kie3LPXY6c4">booksandquills</a> on Youtube, she is fabulous and seriously makes any book sound so interesting and cool.<br />
<br />
Check out her review of the book below:<br />

<br />
So if you ask me what this book is about, I'll tell you it's about a girl who turns into a sea monster. That is all, now go read it!<br />

A long time ago, there used to be a fire lookout atop Rooster Rock, the tallest crag in the area. The lookout is gone now, but you can still find some of the torn-apart ruins scattered around the base of the rock. I also did my very first climb ever at Rooster Rock!<br />
<br />
Hiking the trail itself is quite a workout (I think so at least!) but I like to do it every year. My favorite thing about this forest is how un-busy it is - you can usually feel pretty alone in the woods there. I was also hoping to see the rhodies in bloom, since I missed it last time!<br />
<br />
Unfortunately today, although the weather forecast said 20% chance rain - which almost always ends up meaning sunny and gorgeous - it ended up pouring rain once I reached the top, so there wasn't too much to do except come right back down! On the plus side, that ensured it wasn't terribly hot. So it was still a good hike!<br />

Here in our college town it's finals week, so it feels somewhat dead compared to normal. If you're busy studying hard, why not take a break and check out these fun things? :D</div>

My husband hates working out and has a bad knee so working out together usually involves me running while he rides his bike behind me. It's silly and I always get mad at the end of my run when we says he is tired...when clearly I was the one who was working hard! Our first hike was Multnomah falls and since then we have been doing a hike every weekend and we love it! It's such a great activity for us to do together and to explore and get the most out of this beautiful state we live in. This week my goal is to invest in some good hiking boots! Anyhow, this weekend we hiked Dog Mountain with my friend Leslie. <br />
<br />
Dog Mountain is located in Washington and offers a beautiful view of the gorge. During this time of year the wildflowers at the top of the mountain are in bloom and it literally looks like a scene from the sound of music. The hike wasn't super long (3.8 miles up and 3.7 miles down) but it was extremely steep so it did require some endurance. Also, the top of the mountain was quite windy and dusty since you don't have the shelter of the trees. The very top has a great spot where you can picnic and have lunch with a gorgeous view of the gorge. It was such an incredibly beautiful hike, even though it was tough getting up there it was so worth it! Hope you enjoy the pics my husband took!<br />

I had been to Multnomah Falls once before but only briefly. The Falls are fed by underground springs from Larch Mountain, there are numerous trails around the Falls that have wonderful viewpoints, waterfalls and other things to see. There are trails for all type of hikers beginners (like us) and long rough hikes for the more experienced hikers.<br />
<br />
Below are some photos from our hike:<br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Snow Ice from <a href="https://www.facebook.com/frostcity">Frost City</a>. When we told everyone we were going to Hawaii they raved about the Shaved Ice but I'm so glad our friend Eileen introduced us to SNOW ICE. Hands down one of the best frozen desserts I have ever had. They shave ice cream and pile it up like the picture you see above and garnish it with fruit, mochi and jellies. It is AMAZING, super light, refreshing and fluffy (yes, fluffy)! This dessert is definitely a must!! </td></tr>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Of course we also had to try the Shave Ice at <a href="http://matsumotoshaveice.com/">Matsumoto</a>. They had a bunch of wonderful tropical flavors. The big difference between this and a regular snowcone is you have the option to add condensed milk to it, which makes it very creamy and yummy once you get to the bottom half of it. </td></tr>

TGIF!! Finally getting around to posting some of our honeymoon pictures. We went to Honolulu, Hawaii for a total of 7 days! It was an awesome and relaxing trip. We went out in the morning, took naps in the afternoon, ate great food and went out in the evening. It was perfect and relaxing, which is just what we needed after all the wedding planning and projects we had taken on. I will post these in 3 parts, mostly because I don't want to overwhelm you guys with pictures. Here goes: <br />

I absolutely love this parody of "Do You Want To Build A Snowman?" from the movie Frozen.
This parody took me back to my college days, staying up late studying at the library, wishing I had an extra jolt of something to get me through the grueling finals ahead. I was never a coffee drinker at school but I did drink way too much diet soda and tea to keep me going. And hey who says we don't need coffee to be functional for work in the morning...we can all relate.

I am pretty shocked it's May, John and I have been married for 9 months now, can you believe it!? It's been a good 9 months, nice and easy going. <br />
<br />
I keep wanting to post on the blog some pictures of my wedding and travel from the past year but I don't know where the time has gone. I feel there is always something to do that always keeps me from it. <br />
<br />
We have so many great shots from Hawaii, Singapore and Malaysia that I want to share. <br />
<br />
I'm also going to get Eileen on board to share her travel shots too, she has some pretty great ones of her recent road trip, she gave a sneak peak of her travel on Instagram. She's also going on another road trip over the summer where I'm sure she will take some fabulous shots! <br />
<br />
For sure we are going to start updating the blog more and try to post those pics this month! Promise!<br />

<a href="http://vimeo.com/86742525">Le Kale Project</a> from <a href="http://vimeo.com/darkrye">Dark Rye</a> on <a href="https://vimeo.com/">Vimeo</a>.</div>
<br />
<br />
I've finally caught the kale bug...<br />
<br />
I have to admit when I was younger I disliked kale. I thought it was such an odd tough vegetable. My mom would add it to our soups and salads and I would swallow it down only because I had to. As I grew older I took kale out of my diet up until a few weeks ago, when I had the most amazing kale salad at my parents. The ingredients were simple, just kale, some sweet peppers, balsmic viniagrette and freshly grated parmesan cheese. As I ate the salad I forgot why I had disliked kale so much all of these years.<br />
<br />
Immediately after that I headed out to buy me some kale! I haven't regret it since. I bake it, I eat it in salads, I put it in my soup or just snack on it plain. I can't get enough. Even though my husband is impartial to the vegetable I think he'll be seeing around our household a lot.<br />
<br />
I ran across "<a href="http://vimeo.com/86742525">Le Kale Project</a>" a few weeks ago, who knew kale was lost in France!<br />

We had the most beautiful weekend here in Oregon. After such a dark, gloomy and not to mention cold winter, this weekend was a nice reminder that spring actually is here :)<br />
<br />
Below are a few links that been inspiring me lately:<br />
<br />
Loving the "<a href="http://thealisonshow.com/2014/03/how-to-be-awesome-part-3-dont-poison-your-well.html">How to Be Awesome</a>" series by Alison from <a href="http://thealisonshow.com/">The Alison Show</a>. (P.S. There is even awesome homework!)<br />

Maybe it's because I'm getting older or maybe it's because we did way too much this weekend and went to bed late last night but all I know is daylight savings is totally kicking my butt! I feel like I can barely function today, definitely going to bed early tonight. Anyway, here are some fun links that caught my eye today and over the weekend. <br />
<br />

It isn't the best braid ever, but how about we just call it a "messy" braid for now?! Also, it's a great style for rainy days like the ones we're having now!<br />

Last night I could not get the song "The Fox" by Ylvis out of my head! I kept humming it and even got my husband to watch the video. For those of you who haven't watched it, click <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jofNR_WkoCE">here</a>. <br />
<br />
<b>Warning: </b>You will most likely have this song stuck in your head for the whole day!<br />
<br />
<b>P.S.</b> How cute is that fox print?<br />
