At Last.......

Silver Creek Falls


This has been a week I have been looking forward to but wasn't sure was going to happen. Allison was the first person to come and visit me up here in Oregon! (I know who really loves me!:) She brought her friend Marissa with her and they drove the approximately 13 hours to get here last Wednesday, and they actually made very good time. But of course of all times to come up, they are here during our heat wave of over 95 plus degrees or more each day without the air conditioning! I feel a bit bad for them but I guess they are pretty used to it coming from Utah.

We have been doing all the Oregon fun things. Since it has been so hot, of course we had to go to the beach so that is what we did on Thursday. The weather was great, probably the best of any time I've been to the beach. We pretty much relaxed on the beach for a while, ate at Mo's, and drove to Depoe Bay to TRY and see some whales. On Friday we went hiking and Saturday we had to go to Saturday's Market of course and spent some time looking around downtown Portland. It was very very hot but fun! Tomorrow we will probably go do some shopping at one of the outlet malls up the road. It's been fun having them up here and besides the heat, I think they have been enjoying themselves too!

Awwww...I miss you guys! We stopped in a little town called Baker City and it was so adorable I've decided I'm going to live there someday. So we'll be close.
