Oregon

In April we took a trip up to Portland, Oregon area. It was just for a couple of days and lots of driving, but we had a good time.

We drove the scenic highway along the Columbia River on our way in and saw a bunch of bridges and waterfalls. We also took a hike up and around a couple of them. Nakita liked to be out on the hike but was scared when we got really close to the waterfalls. I think the noise scared her.

Curvy road that we drove on that was kinda scary sometimes

Multnomah Falls

We also got to stop by and have dinner with my good friend Sara and her husband Stephen. Nakita took to them really well and we had a nice evening.

The next day we drove along the west coast drive and saw lots of random towns, the ocean, beaches, sand dunes, and some lighthouses. We also stopped at an aquarium, which turned out to be kinda a dud. However, it is truly a beautiful state.

 

There is a lighthouse on that Island

On our way back we managed to see one covered bridge, even though we looked for a couple others. It was a good trip, but next time we won't do so much driving in such a short time span so that we can see more.
