Last weekend, we ventured to the beautiful city of Portland. It was so lush and green there! Accompanied by great places to eat, stellar coffee, and a morning on the Oregon coast – it was a fantastic trip. We were able to see old friends and family along the way. Some friends we last saw exactly one year ago to the weekend when we were driving through with a U-Haul moving from Seattle to Montana. A year goes by way to fast.
I was hard to sift through our hundreds of pics from the trip – but here are a few!
Tree Farm along the way
Very cool to see the field of trees. Straight, tidy rows. Numerous fields with baby trees up to these mature giants.
Western Seminary where Jason is going to school
Met a few of Jason’s colleagues and profs. Dr. DeYoung coming out with with a great book on June 1 – looks like it will be a good one!
Extinct volcano. That’s reassuring. :) A beautiful park with a great view of the city.
I would love to make cheese someday. (Although Nick thinks I am crazy.) This cheese factory tour was OK – interesting, but only showed the last step of the process. I wanted to see the curds and whey! But it was free and we got to sample squeaky cheese at the end!
Oregon Coast
Brrr but beautiful. I love seeing the ocean and chasing the tide. Top it off with fresh chowder and seafood on the beach – lovely time.
Mmmmm. Biscuits done right. Yes Jason – the Reggie Deluxe was everything you said it would be…and more.
Other highlights in Downtown Portland - Powell’s Books. Hive Modern. EWF Modern.
And last but not least….IKEA. Overwhelming, yes. But we made it out alive and with a few good bargains!
Oh my gosh, what beautiful pictures! I'm so glad you had a good visit to Portland. I enjoyed seeing every single photo!
