Portland Trip ~Part 1

Ben and I have been in Oregon for almost 2 weeks and will be here until the end of the month. Last week Monday my mom, sister (Mary) and I took a road trip to Portland to see my moms sister who was having surgery.

A 5 hour trip turned into 7 1/2 hrs because we made random stops along the way :) One stop was at Salt Creek Falls. What a beautiful place!

 I'm really glad we made the trip up there because the greater Portland area is where we grew up and it will always be home. It was SO nice to be among the land of trees again. I miss the towering evergreens ( mostly fir ).

Hmmm........not exactly what we had in mind! ~ the mosquitos were horrible

This picture is dark and theres a bug splattered on the windshield ~ BUT I was so happy to be driving through these towering trees!
