Guemes Island is a sweet little spot so close that
a two-day trip is long enough to get there, explore, decompress and get
home in time to do a load of laundry.

Sure, you could join the masses at Multnomah during peak waterfall
season. Or you could head out to the Olympic National Forest and enjoy
the rush in sweet solitude.

While strolling one of Oregon's expansive sandy beaches, a scurrying
movement in a tide pool caught my eye. Was that a bullhead? No, it was
too egg-shaped to be one of the shy pool-dwelling fish. It didn't
scuttle like a crab -- and the pool was teeming with these mystery
creatures. Whatever it was, the buggy beast was just the reason I'd wanted to
visit Oregon's ocean beaches: for a chance to explore the craggy
coastline, poke around under seaside rocks and sink my toes in sugary
sand.

It's travel season, and I'm a cheerleader for road trips with the dogs -- especially to dog-oriented destinations. I know that pups as passengers present certain challenges, including muddy paws, furry upholstery, saliva-covered windows and keeping things cool. But they offer rewards and opportunities in more than equal measure.

I finally succumbed to the seven-year itch, the one that makes you restless. I'm talking about living on the wild side: visiting a different zoo. You know, checking out another tiger's lair, seeing a different elephant's barn. I love the Woodland Park Zoo and all, but sometimes you just want to sample a new zoo. So we went to Tacoma.

My wife and I have always traveled light and fast. Inspired by the great travelers of old, we've made suffering a virtue, knowing that the resulting memory is worth every moment of frustration, anxiety and discomfort. We realized we didn't know anything about suffering until we began to travel with our baby son, Ciaran, now 15 months.
