Last month, I competed in my first official triathlon! I love to work out, but I’m not usually drawn to a lot of long-distance cardiovascular exercise, I prefer weight-training. Last year, Tip and I did the Salem River to Ridge relay, which is not an official triathlon, but instead of the swimming piece, it’s a…

What most people miss…
We love to take our dogs everywhere we go, like most dog owners. They are our kids and we cant leave them home while were out having fun. So when we look for places to stay, pet-friendly is definitely a top amenity. Agate Beach Motel is not your typical motel. Until you walk into the…
