We had the opportunity to go to Ashland, Oregon over Memorial Day weekend and we absolutely loved it. It has a very cute downtown with lots of little shops and views of the green hills that surround the city. The crowning jewel of the city is Lithia park, a massive 93 acre park that starts in downtown, near where the Oregon Shakespeare Festival is held.
I highly recommend Ashland if you like picturesque streets, charming shops and yummy food.
Downtown Ashland
Views of the gorgeous green mountains from downtown Ashland. 
Standing Stone Brewing is a must when in Ashland. Super yummy food and seasonal beers and ciders. 
We spent an hour in Bloomsburry Books. Great selection and cozy vibes. 
Ashland Creek that runs through town. 
Main square in downtown Ashland. 
Downtown Ashland was adorable and we were both blown away by all the green everywhere- this might not mean a lot to some but from two Californians who are used to golden, dry hills, this was a sight to see.
This is Kenny (my boyfriend) trying Ashland’s famous sulfur water. It’s supposed to have healing properties, but it was honestly super gross tasting!
Lithia Park
Like I mentioned earlier, Lithia Park is a 93 acre park that starts in downtown and stretches on for what seems like forever. We explored the park post breakfast at Brother’s restaurant and we had a great time. We probably saw less than a tenth of the park, it huge and I would love to come back and explore the park for a full day
Ashland is adorable and I would love to return. Enjoy this photo diary and check out my other photo diaries: Maui, Disneyland, Midtown Sacramento, Big Sur, California, Viterbo, Italy and Bracciano, Italy.
