An Escape to Portland

Between work and school, Ian is gone a lot.  We had a very rare weekend when he could take off work for a few days and he didn't have school.  Because he currently works in Portland, we decided to spend the weekend there.  It was heavenly.  Hiking, waterfalls, good food, sleeping in, time to talk and be together made the long weekend heaven.  Admittedly, the following post is a photo dump of some of the trip highlights.

A kind friend let us stay in her beach house for a few nights in Netarts.

It was beautiful.

We toured the Tillamook Cheese Factory.

Walking along the beach.

Eating clam chowder at Mo's.  A staple here.

Looking at tide pools.

I love this picture of Ian.  He loves the outdoors and anything adventurous.  It was his idea to jump to this rock as the tide was coming in.    

We visited Fort Clatsop where Louis and Clark and their team waiting the winter out before returning home. 

Along the Washington border are many, many waterfalls.  We hiked to several waterfalls with wonderful vistas.

I am so lucky to be married to this guy.  He is so good to me.  Life is good.
