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!
