Enchanted Forest

Normally the high-pitched, blood curdling screams of little girls would lead to the scrambling of parents in search of their children.

On a hot Saturday afternoon, the primal sounds had the exact opposite reaction, smiles all around.

“Whenever you get more than three girls on this ride, better plug your ears,” said the “Frog Hopper” ride attendant. “They love it.”

More than just screaming daughters love Enchanted Forest.

To prove it, all you need to do is walk around the 20-acre site on a summer day to see all the smiles.

Stastny Garden Art Gallery

Everyone has done it. Passed many roadside attractions doing 65 miles per hour not even noticing the enchanting place to stop and explore.

Stastny Gardens and Art Gallery is one of these roadside gems. Basically it’s three attractions in one, a wonderful garden with many different types of trees, shrubs and flowers, an art gallery with featured local artists and a showcase of unique hand-carved stone pots for plants, fountains and firepots.

The Dr. John McLoughlin House

William L. Holmes House

The William L. Holmes House is one of the oldest American homes in Oregon. Joseph Lane gave his inaugural address from its balcony. Open Fridays and Saturdays, 12pm-4pm. 536 Holmes Lane, Oregon City. 503.656.5146.

Wine Country Farm Vineyard & Winery

You'll find Wine Country Farm Vineyard & Winery and its bed and breakfast in the heart of Dundee's Red Hills, providing beautiful 180 degree views of the Cascade Mountains and surrounding Willamette Valley. Their estate grown grapes (from vines planted in 1970) never leave the farm: they are hand-picked, crushed, processed, bottled, and then stored in their own facility. Wine Country Farm and its B&B make for an amazing getaway filled with wine tasting, lovely forest strolls or a picnic in their private gardens.

14th Street Ferry Dock in Astoria

There are a lot of really interesting and fun things to do in Astoria, Oregon. But to be honest, one of my favorite parts of visiting this north coast city is to see the huge freighters sail by in the background.

Seeing something so big, so close to land and setting a moving backdrop makes Astoria a place where I can sit and watch these huge ships sail down the Columbia River to either Portland, or out to the Pacific Ocean.
