We love Oregon!

Our first stop was the Maritime museum in Astoria.

The next morning we stopped at a Lewis and Clark fort.


Driving down the coast we had to stop at Tillamook Cheese Factory for some ice cream.

This was the highlight of the trip. We were driven by a professional all through the sand dunes and it was crazy! It was like a 1/2 hour roller coaster ride!


Then we were on to the lighthouse just north of Florence.

And, a stop at driftwood beach.

We were able to spend the night with a family from Mark's mission, the Johnsons. They let me pick blackberries from their back yard...yum!


We ended our trip in Keizer staying with my grandparents for a couple days. My grandpa is 91 1/2 years old! Looks pretty good doesn't he? We wanted to do something for the day and seeing how we were limited on the type of activities we could participate in we settled for a drive up to the mountain, Mt Hood. We relaxed in the Timberline Lodge with some lunch and then enjoyed a beautiful drive home through small towns and lots of trees.
