I went to Oregon the first part of July. To visit family and to give my soul a bit of rest. It's been a tumultuous year, with many ups and unfortunately, many downs. It was a very good vacation; I had never visited Oregon and it is everything (and more) that people talk about. I was very surprise about all the farmland.
We took a drive along part of the Oregon coastline; I love the ocean and got my fill of fresh, salty sea air. And just outside of the sleepy town of Silverton, we managed to hike 5 miles to see 8 different, but each very beautiful, waterfalls. We also took a quick drive through the Columbia River Gorge, and caught a Portland Beaver baseball game.
Quite a bit of adventure for one week. I can't wait to go back.
