The other side of paradise....

My friend Kim has been trying to convince me to move to Hawaii since Memorial Day. She got a job there and has been trying to swoon me with promises of sunshine, ocean, rainbows and unicorns. But I know me, and I'm a country girl at heart, and have to be able to get to the midwest, or at least the middle of nowhere, if I need to. I enjoy miles and miles of road, wide open spaces, I love road trips, unknown destinations, and feeling of escape. Plus, I don't have to go to Hawaii to find unicorns. Hell, I found these two this weekend in Huntington, OR...

and I know the ocean is nice, but I spent the weekend with no desire to be anywhere but here...
PS: yes Kim, those are your shorts. I haven't taken them off since you left.
