Maybe it's because I'm on vacation, perfectly relaxed with nothing to do, no one to see besides my mom, dad, little brother and two dogs (should I just say three dogs?) and no where to go, well at least, at night. (it's around 30 degrees outside, not including the ocean breeze. Talk about chilly.)Maybe it's because this place that I'm in, my favorite place in the world, inspires me.
Let's get to that, where is Katie Kuntz during her winter break of sophomore year in college? She isn't in dysfunction junction, also known as Vegas with her mom's side of the family, she isn't in Washington state where she grew up visiting her dad's few remaining family members and she definitely isn't at home. So where? Well let me describe it for you. Think about a coastline. Beige sands and a vast grey ocean with white capped waves, add driftwood and enormous boulders the size of small buildings declaring their space in the rough water. A forest of omnipresent emerald green stands behind you and millions of seagulls fly over head. I bet you still can't picture anything as beautiful as the world right outside my window right now...Fine. I'll give it up, my little secret, the one place that will always be my getaway, will always inspire me and will always feel like I'm going home whenever I visit...
Cannon Beach, Oreg
on. Gorgeous right? I know. I definitely enjoy waking up to the picture on the left every morning. The giant monolith you're looking at dominates the beach by standing around 230 feet tall. It's now designated as a marine wildlife preserve but not too long ago, when I was a mini-Katie, I wandered, crawled and climbed all over this thing; fascinated by the giant orange and purple starfish plastered against its rocky tidepools. So now that you know that such a beautiful place exists, I'm off to sit by the fireplace, sip on a glass of wine (I am on vacation... :D ) and watch a movie with the fam. Updates to come.
xoxo
