Memorial Day Camping

Well, I just got back from some fun in the hills! I went camping up at Scout Lake for my birthday and although it was super cold (pssst, summer... ahem, ahem.) it didn't rain or snow on us all weekend! A miracle! We stayed warm with big fires and nips of whiskey... oh yes, and forest bowling thanks to a lovely plastic bowling set we picked up. :)

This is why you take your camera with you at 4:30 in the morning.

Wood stacks at the campsite.

Safety first! This way they can't lose me in the woods. ;)

Sara decorated me with battery powered twinkle lights! Yay!

Beautifully eerie burn on the backside of camp.

Pups and pinwheels.

A bunch of my favorite dirtbags deciding on where to ride.

So there you have it! My birthday weekend... it was one of my favorites! Thanks you guys for making it so fun. :)

Weekend Adventure: Coburg Antique Fair

Hey guys!
Ahhh! I had so much fun today at the Coburg Antique Fair! It's a once a year fair that brings in 300+ vendors from all over and it was AMAZING.







I was so stoked when I saw this wool Swiss Army blanket! I've wanted one for so long and it is in totally perfect condition. PLUS, I got it for 20 bucks! What a steal!



I also found this super cute, strange little pin that I immediately fell in love with. I'm planning on wearing it with my olive green wool coat this fall. :)



What a fun day! I love these sunny fall days that start out chilly and end up so lovely and warm. Perfect for wandering around beautiful vintage booths all day. :) I hope you guys had an equally wonderful weekend!

Weekend Adventure DIY

Hey all!
Well I'm running out the door to head to the coast with the fam. In lieu of a bona-fide adventure post I'll leave you with this "DIY" inspired by my crazy bike adventure yesterday.

The Adventure:

I woke up SO EARLY and I could just hear my bike calling to me from the garage. I threw on the bibs and it was on. I did the usual 25 mile loop and was feeling AWESOME so I decided to investigate some side roads I’d always wondered about. Beautiful, wooded scenery, saw 4 deer, had one flat (no biggie-hello CO2), and saw the sunrise… A FEW HOURS LATER. SO LOST. And might I add hungry. All I had was one Gu and a packet of fruit snacks for breakfast. (In my defense, I didn’t know I was going on an expedition and ALSO I’m not grown up & have no life skills.) So I asked a farmer where I was. The best part of my day is the expression on his face. Anyhoo, I got back home safe and sound and my bike computer reports a whopping 47.4 miles.

The DIY:

YOU TOO CAN HAVE THIS ROCKIN HAIR STYLE!

Step 1. Don’t dry your hair before putting on your bike helmet.

Step 2. Get lost and ride around till it’s dry.

Step 3. Remove helmet. Contemplate combing.

Step 4. Shrug shoulders, accept that people will assume you are homeless today.

I hope you all have a GREAT weekend!

Weekend Adventure: Green Springs Inn

Helloooo!
AH! The first installment of Weekend Adventure! I'm way excited to share some fun DIY's, review some awesome trails, dog friendly hotels and great restaurants. So pretty much tell you about my weekends, but hopefully give you some info you can use to make your own adventures. :) OKAY! So...

A few weekends ago, Ryan and I were down in the Ashland area for a bike race. (WHAT!?! A bike race? Who me? Haha...) We wanted to make a weekend out of it and found a cool Inn in this book I have, The Dog Lover's Companion to the Pacific Northwest. The Green Springs Inn to be exact!

We stayed in one of the lodge rooms. It was so cute and comfy! The real treat (other than the fact that the whole Inn is pet friendly!) was the big jacuzzi tub on the back porch! It's an open porch with great views of the wooded property, or if you want to soak in privacy, you can roll down the bamboo privacy screen!





Besides the main lodge, there are several log cabins to choose from. Each with a unique layout and set deep onto the property. The prices are so affordable that we're thinking about getting one for a group next time we have a race down there. Not to mention that the owner, Diarmuid McGuire, is one of the nicest people ever. Oh, and if you do go, you have to try their fresh baked poppyseed molasses bread. Totally yummy.

You can check out more info, or reserve a room online at their website http://www.greenspringsinn.com/



Well there you have it! Next, I'm looking forward to an awesome weekend in Bend starting tomorrow! Mountain biking on Saturday and Ryan's bike race on Sunday, it's bound to be a great couple of days! What are you guys up to? I'd love to know! Also if you have any places you want me to check out just send me an email at urbanfarmdesigns[at]gmail[dot]com.
