OREGON

Jason and I went to Oregon this last weekend on vacation. We were gone for 6 days. We did not take Owen(we missed him, but he was in good hands). We spent time on the coast and in Portland and I would love to go back. It was beautiful and fun and different!
We had a great time for sure. Here are some of the highlights:
** Campfires on the beach. I have seen it in movies and didn't think it could be a reality. Well my friends, I have done it and it was the best fire ever! I totally checked off a lifelong dream with that one.
** Tilamook Cheese Factory. More people here than any other tourist spot we went to...for real. I guess people are suckers for free cheese samples!
** Our hotel in Portland. Kind of felt like a high roller. It was really nice.
** Moss covered trees. There is no escaping the green.
** Jason singing Rhianna(take a bow), Kid Rock(sweet home alabama) and Leona Lewis(keep bleeding) in the car.
** everything about the beach and scenery on the coast
** the tiny town of Harper, OR and the one pump gas station/house/diner. We made up some good stories about the town, townspeople and how we could have been kidnapped and murdered because there was no cell phone service. I am really thinking about writing a short story about it cause we came up woth some good stuff.
** the kid that was trying to run away from his parents while still buckled in his stroller. It was hilarious. Probably too big for a stroller if you can stand up and scoot away while still strapped in .
So many good memories were made on this trip! I loved all of it! We decided to make it a tradition for every five years of marriage to take a trip together, just the two of us. Can't wait to see what year 10 has in store!

Sounds like a good time! I love the pictures of the ocean. They look like postcards. We loved having Owen and miss him!

Yay for Portland! We rented Goonies after we went to Cannon Beach so that we could see the beach in the movie! So why did you guys choose Portland? Doug is doing summer sales there this summer so that is why we visited. Glad to see you guys are doing so well!
