HALLOWEENTOWN!
As I was scrolling through Facebook, I came across a Buzzfeed article where the lovely Oregon town of St. Helens transforms into the classic 1998 Disney film “Halloweentown”! In honor of the movie, the town holds an October month-long ‘Spirit of Halloweentown’ celebration . Ecstatic, I immediately made plans to St. Helens to re-live one [...]
THIS SCHOOL-HOUSE ROCKS!
While visiting Halloweentown in St. Helens, we found this 100 year old schoolhouse to be right up our alley for accommodations! Thanks Airbnb!

PIFA
Our main reason for this trip was to attend the 21st Annual Pacific Islanders Festival!!! The event was held at Ski beach and finding parking was such a pain that we ended up driving back to the hotel and grabbing an Uber there (highly recommended)!

FRANKLIN FALLS
Today is Labor Day and my friend and I decided to go hiking! We wanted something easy and rewarding and what we stumbled upon was Franklin Falls! It's 1.2 miles each way and there's only about 400 feet elevation gain, so it's great for beginners or those with pets or children. The trail is well [...]
