A little late, but here none the less.

Photos from a quick trip to Portland.

Unfortunately I took not nearly enough pictures and now I'm pissed.

Whatever, there's always next time.

Oh, Portland, I love you so.

---------------------------------------------------------

Portland, Oregon is by far my favorite U.S. city.

Curious to see what your favorites are...do come tell me.

oregon in july

I love, love, love, love, the beautiful state of Oregon.

It's no secret, and I'll be headed there for school next year.

[maybe sooner] 

But for now, the two youngest grand kids, my brother Tucker, and cousin Gwen are headed to UO next month.

We drove up for their IntroDUCKtion and to visit Portland + Eugene.

The drive up was beautiful, as per usual, with Mt. Shasta and Shasta Lake as viewing points.

We arrived on campus where the 'kids' went off with their orientation group, while I walked the streets of Eugene with my mom and aunt. I also had the pleasure of sitting through the parent classes and meetings as well.

[insert sarcasm here, please]

Not going to lie though, I was totes jeal. 

Totally should have gone away to college after high school.

[name the movie this building was in]

You're right, it was Animal House!

I obsessed over the architecture and bikes.

Obviously.

--------------------------------

I'm so excited for Tuck and G...

GO DUCKS!

Where did you go to school?

Who is your favorite team?
