Aaron & I recently celebrated our 10th wedding anniversary by taking a trip to Portland, Oregon. My parents came to our house to watch the kids while we enjoyed 4 days of rest and relaxation. We stayed at a nice bed and breakfast and enjoyed driving all over seeing the sights of Oregon. It was beautiful, lush, and green. We would love to take the family back some day! Here is only a small sample of the pictures we took:
The beautiful bed and breakfast we stayed at.
We visited the Portland, Oregon LDS Temple.
No trip is complete without a little Geocaching. This happens to be the place where the very FIRST geocache was placed over 10 years ago. This is like the Holy Grail to geocachers!
Christmas Tree Farms
A view of the Columbia River Gorge.
We saw miles and miles of beautiful scenery and lots of amazing waterfalls.
We stopped at the historic Mount Hood Railroad. 
This was as close as we made it to Mt. Hood. Still about 1 hour and 45 minutes away. It looked pretty amazing...from the airplane!
We stopped at an art gallery of Pacific Northwest Art. 
I wish we would have taken pictures of some of the strangest people people we have EVER seen. This sign was painted on the side of a building. 
A trip to Portland would not be complete without a visit to Voodoo Donuts. Yes...we waited in line for 55 minutes to buy the yummiest - most sinful donuts ever!!
The Oregon Coast
Haystack Rock in Cannon Beach.
Our last stop before heading home was the International Rose Garden. Wow!! I was in HEAVEN!!

It looks so pretty there. What a great get-away. I wish I would have seen your parents while I was there.
Hey do you do flower bouquets for everyone? I ask because Russel's neice just moved to UT and is getting married in Sept. You do a great job. If she is interested can I give her your number? You can inbox me on FB.
