Portland and the Oregon Coast

Blair and I decided to take a weekend and go to the coast. It worked out perfectly because Gonzaga was playing in Portland the day we were headed to the coast. Blair did some business in Hood River on the way and then it was fun from there on out! We had such a good time and are excited to do it again!! Monstrous Wave!
This is one of my favorite pictures from our trip. The second night we stayed in this place called the Looking Glass Inn that was right on the water in Lincoln City. We went out to the water and watched all the sea lions play. It was fun. A dog actually chased a few of them!

Our first dayin Oregon we went to the Gonzaga vs. Akron game. It was really fun and we got pretty good seats too! We were in a litte cluster of Gonzaga fans.


Victory! Too bad it only lasts so long.

our first night in Portland we walked around down town and had some good food! We stayed at a hotel on the river (a very water-themed vacation).

Here is me and one of my good friends Abe. We were buddies ever since middle school! it was really great to spend some time with him. He showed Blair and I around Portland and had lunch.
ooooooo the Cheese!!! Tillamook! Blair's pretty much favorite food is Cheese.

what a perfect place for both of us, because my favorite thing to eat is Ice Cream!

is that a Cullen in the trees?!?

Cape Kiwanda (sooo beautiful)

Here's Blair on our way up the coast to Cannon Beach.

Light House at Cape Mearse

gigantic seaweed! EWww!

it was windy, but beautiful

Here is the Haystack rock on the coast at Cannon Beach. We found this great little townhouse to stay in and loved the town and the water. We stopped at Pacific City on the way up and would have no problems with visiting there again. it was unbelievable!
