Oregon Coast, Portland & Vancouver visit!

I have been aching to get back to visit Oregon and Washington and we finally got to go the first week in August.  We left Thursday after LeGrand got off work and drove to Baker City  and stayed the night then Friday we drove all the way to Lincoln City Oregon, we stopped for some fresh produce on the way, loved our little motel on the beach, & were excited to get exploring.  It was windy and a little chilly but we were so happy to be there!



















Saturday we did some more exploring and found lots of fun critters at the tide pools, then we headed for Portland where we had to stop for our favorite food carts & Salt and Straw ice cream, YUM!






















Sunday we had such a good day vising our favorite Hazel Dell ward and catching up with so many friends.  We stayed with the Elms while we were in Vancouver and it was fun to see and catch up with them too.

Monday we took another excursion into Portland for some food carts and exploring the city.
























Tuesday we got to hang out with the Burnetts and Davenports - the weather wasn't that warm but it didn't stop the kids (and LeGrand!) from having a good time at the lake!













We also met up with James and Desmond and had ice cream at Chucks market.
Wednesday morning we were on the road bright and early for the long trek home.








We stopped in Twin Falls for some lunch then made it to Grace by evening --we sure love and miss our Vancouver home!
