We're Bums!

We love to travel! We love to travel as Professional Innsitters and we love to travel as Beach Bums. We try to take a little time off from our profession each year to go someplace warm with lovely sunsets, turquoise water, white sand beaches, palm trees,rum drinks etc.etc....

                                                   

This year we went to the Dominican Republic and really enjoyed it.  The beach on the left is Cayo Arena where we went for a great snorkel trip. There were lots of colorful fish and coral and I even got the fish to come to my hand. The boat ride to this deserted island with our guide was a bit of an adventure and on the way home he took us through an incredible mangrove swamp!

Punta Cana beach is the most popular beach in the Dominican Republic.  It was a little too crowded for us but we did enjoy hanging out there for a day or two. You can see I love to walk on the beach but this time I got caught - and soaked!

This tiki god guarded our favorite palapa - great spot for reading and lounging!

                                          So CHEERS to Beach Bums everywhere!

                                               Where is your favorite beach?

                                                                      

B & B & Beach

 This is the view from our new property Tyee Lodge B&B. Stunning, huh??  Yes, all those little black dots are surfers and we get to watch them all day. We also get to watch whales if we are lucky. The B&B hangs over beautiful Agate Beach just north of Newport Oregon. This is an almost private beach with  a few homes and no big hotels on it - just miles of lovely sand and surf. When ever we get time in our day, we head down for a beach walk and you can see why.

 The other thing I love to do here if I have a free minute  is just sit and read. What a serene spot! However I am never alone - I do have to share my spot with a few friends like this one:









Can you spot that little guy eating lunch on the bird feeder?? He does not get to eat the gourmet breakfast that we prepare for our guests but he does get the leftovers and he seems to be getting chubbier each day!

Yes, we do also have actual paying guests here as well who get to share "our" beach. Each of the rooms at the Tyee Lodge has an amazing view out over the ocean for them to enjoy. WOW!

                            You should come and stay here sometime and maybe we will be your
