I got to spend five whole glorius days in Portland, Oregon, one of my favorite places to visit because its where I served my mission! I got home April 2005 but have been so blessed to go back to visit quite a bit & keep in touch with sooo many wonderful people there. Wednesday night I flew in and my friend Jeremy picked me up and we went to eat at Sheri's where I had my favorite Smores pie. Yes! The next day Enterprise picked me up and I got my rental car. The rest of the majority of the day was spent in Seaside and Cannon Beach.

| HECK YES I see green! You dont see green like this in Arizona & I miss it a lot. Here we are driving on the Sellwood Bridge - its 85 years old! |

| This is the only spot along the way on this road that you can see this mountain |
 |
| This place was along the way to the beach and someday I want to go back here to do a hike. It was so pretty, green and peaceful! |

| It's a must to stop at Pig'N Pancake for breakfast! There are quite a few locations, I had forgotten! We seemed to get less food for the price this time but at least I didn't have any leftovers! The orange marmalade syrup was tasty |

 |
| I wanted to stay all day. The weather was PERFECT! |
 |
| Cannon Beach has this cool river of water that flows from somewhere down to the ocean I think. It is so neat to wade in |
 |
| Headed back to Clackamas to meet up with Christine and her daughter Brie at Sweet Tomatoes where they treated me to a delicious dinner. It was so awesome to see them again as it hasnt worked out to see them the last few times I came to visit. They are really nice people and I enjoyed catching up with them face to face! |

Stay tuned for Part 2...tomorrow? Most likely!

Portland is on our short list of places to visit next! It looks so green and beautiful and lovely all around. I can't wait to see more of your trip!
PS-Oh, and I'm way bummed about the dates that you'll be here! I'm taking off to Utah so my mom can sew a ball gown for me, so I'll barely miss you. Amy might be around, though!
