Day 2 of the cruise we were at sea. It was hard to see the stars because of the moon, some clouds and the lights of the ship!

More Portlandia, Coffee!!!
I've been told that Portland has a fairly unique coffee scene. My first clue was the first coffee shop, first order. Our coffee was brewed in these glass carafe looking pitchers.

Fall is a great time to go camping…if the weather behaves OR if you have a travel trailer!!! So. Where did we go for my birthday campout? Illinois Beach State Park!
