The Beach

After we were done touring the great Province of British Columbia, we then headed south to Seattle. We were able to spend a wonderful time with some friends of ours, Raj and Summer. We hadn't seen them for over a year (they had moved up there from Provo) and it was really great to catch up with them.

After exploring around Seattle and it's market place, we then journeyed down to Portland, Oregon. On our way there we decided to stop in at Mt. St. Helen's and we were fogged in the whole day!!! So we don't have any great pictures of that really cool Volcano..... Someday......







Next was Portland, where we met up with Adam's family and spent some time touring around the town.





The Rose Garden









Pittock Mansion.... My future house? Anyone agree? :)















A submarine in the Willamit River. The coolest guided tour ever!!!

Then it was off to the beach..... It was so nice.....

This is the lighthouse at Yaquina Head. It was alot of fun to tour and check it out.





Adam, Bev (my mother-in-law) and I were able to find a deep connection to sand castle construction while we were in Lincoln City!!! These are just a couple of the great sand castles that were created. (Adam even expressed a desire to leave our normal cushy lives behind and head into the competive life of sand castle competitions.... hmmmmm...)

Cool Sand castles! Looks like you guys had a lot of fun. Good luck with school and teaching.

You guys always look like you are having so much fun. Personally I would not want to live in a mansion because I would hate to have to clean the stupid thing.

So fun!! Looks like a great time. Did you happen to get to go to Powell's while you were in Portland? It is the biggest bookstore in the world and so totally awesome.
Love the pictures!
