Spring Break 2016

Spring Break

For Spring Break I borrowed the extra seat in my brother's car and went to Portland, Oregon with his wife and 1 year old. I had never been to Oregon before so I wasn't sure what to expect. I had no idea how much I would love it. Even though it rained most of the time we were there, it was beautiful! Everything is green, even the dead trees are covered in green moss and vines. I have to say the best part though was the culture. Everyone is friendly, dresses nice --except for the bums which there are PLENTY of, great food on every corner, and the seaside... oh the seaside <3

We went to Cannon Beach, the one off of the Goonies with One Eye'd Willey. It was freezing and there was a lot of wind due to the time of year. However even that didn't change how gorgeous the beach was. Haystack rock (shown in the picture above) was quite the sight. You can tell from the picture above that my coat seems a bit tight on me because of all of the layers I had underneath. The wind was so strong we could lay against it.

 Here are a couple of my favorite restaurants in Portland:

                                                
           Pibs Doughnuts (better than Voodoo)                                             Salt & Straw Ice Cream is AMAZING

I hope you get the chance to find yourself in Portland, Oregon one day, if you haven't been already.
