Fall Getaways

One of my favorite times to travel is during the fall. The weather is usually pretty good and the prices are even better. Sometimes it's great to travel to faraway lands and then other times it's fun to stay close to home. I recently returned from a Mother/Daughter getaway with my 11 year old daughter. The approximate travel time from our house to the hotel was no more than 10 minutes! We never left town but it felt like miles away. We stayed at the Camas Hotel (www.camashotel.com) which is located in historic Downtown Camas and is a very charming European style boutique hotel. It is a century old and has recently been renovated but still retains it character. The rooms were very nice and the bed was so comfortable, much better than any chain hotel bed I've ever slept in! A very good continental breakfast is also included in the price. The cost of a one night stay was so reasonable I had to look at the bill a few times to make sure I was reading it correctly.

Sydney and I enjoyed taking a long walk and looking at all the pretty fall colors. We then visited the library and after that we were starving so had dinner at a great Thai restaurant and ate till we dropped (well almost!) It was so nice to come back to our hotel and just hang out in our room before we drifted off to sleep. The next morning we enjoyed our breakfast and then checked out of our home away from home. We weren't quite ready to return to our own house so we went shopping!! When we were driving home Sydney told me that "This has been so much fun!"
The end to a perfect weekend.
