This week, three years ago (yes, I had to look that up), I went on one of my favorite trips ever. I really had never been interested in going to Oregon, but I have a friend who lived in Portland that just kept talking it up. He kept telling me I'd love it, that it was the perfect place for a twenty-something, and that I needed to come visit. I was in grad school and definitely needed a vacation--and honestly, I'm not one to ever turn down the thought of travel + adventure, so I packed my bags.
I was blown away by Oregon. It's, without a doubt, my favorite place in the United States that I've ever been--and I've been a few places. There's ocean, mountains, rainforest, desert, and cities, all in one beautiful state. Here are some of my favorite snapshots from the trip:
We spent a day snow-shoeing on Mt. Hood. See that sign above? We definitely came up from behind it. Yikes! Haha. We had an expert with us, though, and even though he intentionally led us into a white-out and dropped off a ledge so we thought he was gone, I never felt nervous about it. It was a blast! I did find out how out-of-shape I was, though. Yeesh!
Loved this trip so much. I will certainly be going back to Oregon many many times (and maybe living there eventually? Oh, to dream!). Tyler has never been, so hopefully we can make a trip there soon. Thanks for taking a stroll down memory lane with me!
