Oregon Trip

Before we begin, I think it's funny that the only time I have to post on our blog nowadays is at 1:15 in the morning because I can't sleep.

Now to the good stuff. We just got back from a trip to Oregon to Dave's sister's house. They live in Beaverton and just got a new house. It made me incredibly excited to have our own house someday, but I have to realize that ours will probably be 1/2 the size of that one. I am excited nonetheless. Quick summary and then to pictures.

Day 1 - drove 10 hours to Pendleton, OR. Luke did so much better than I expected.

Day 2 - drove 4 hours to Beaverton. It might have been shorter but we got lost in Portland. We arrived at the county fair where the family was and participated in the festivities.

Day 3 - went to church and only lasted through Sacrament meeting because Luke was CRAZY.

Day 4 - drove 10 minutes to Portland and spent the day with one of my best friends that I haven't seen for 7 years. It was fantastic.

Day 5 - drove 45 minutes to Mcminnville to see another best friend that I haven't seen in 1 1/2 years. It was also fantastic.

Day 6 - went to Haag Lake where Luke had a blast. The water wasn't too bad but I had a really hard time walking through the mud and feeling it squish between my toes. I didn't last very long in the water but Dave did and Luke didn't want to be anywhere but in the water.

Day 7 - went to Cannon Beach. Dave and I can't stand being that close to the ocean and not driving out to see it. We are definitely coast people.

Day 8 - started the trek home. Stayed at a hotel in Boise. Swam in the pool. Slept in a wonderfully big king size bed.

Day 9 - finished the trek home. The drive went by much faster than expected.

The trip was a fantastic one. There was craziness along with the enjoyment and we are so glad we went.

We need to move to the coast.
