We took a trip over the summer to Oregon, but with the busyness of life, I’m writing about it over winter break. Hopefully, this write-up will serve someone in their trip planning (in addition to my fleeting memory).

 “You seem like you belong in Oregon; you just need more tattoos.” A friend once told me. I’ve wanted to go ever since. Cheap flights into Portland convinced us to make it a reality.

Our six-day trip (with a travel day on the front and back) was one of exploring rather than relaxing. I haven’t figured out how to relax yet, to the disappointment of my 10- and 12-year-old.
