Oregon

Well, we are home from our trip to Oregon. It was alot of fun, and there were many things we did. I have alot of pictures, so scroll on if you dare!
The first stop we made was Multnomah Falls. This was a gigantic waterfall (612 ft!) It was pretty cool. Tracy and I went on a little hike to get closer, but I couldn't make it very far.





Next, we went to the Tillamook Cheese Factory. It was amazing!

I'm the cow....hmmm.....

After the cheese factory, we stopped at some air museum, also in Tillamook, on a whim. There were tons of airplanes there, many from the wars and such. Tracy decided he really needed to try to be a pilot.



The stop at Tillamook was on our way to Tracy's grandma's house. Before we got there, we stopped at a location that was the "first view" of the coast (according to Tracy's mom.)


It was a bit windy!



I am not sure why, but I thought this sign was hilarious. Dumping rubbish prohibited? Rubbish?!?! I think that is the funniest thing ever.

One afternoon, while at Tracy's grandma's house, we decided to go out for pizza and mini-golf. Wow, I'm terrible at mini-golf! In real golf, I'm a great putter. But not when it's on a course with windmills and waterfalls. What can I say, I took last place.


In action!


Tracy was stumped during our game (he he I'm funny!)

One of our last days there, Tracy's grandma took us to the beach. It was a little chilly, but according to her it was wonderful weather. There were lots of little creatures on the beach, and of course I was freaked out. We did see a whale out in the ocean doing flips. It was pretty cool.

There were tons of dead crabs everywhere. It was a bit revolting. As for the picture...there are no words.


As we were walking along, we found a star fish that was alive! It freaked me out because it was all soft and muscly, but Tracy thought it was fun. He wanted to bring it home, which is just revolting. Instead, he threw it back out to sea.





While we were on our trip to the ocean, we stopped at some caves. Sea lion caves, in fact. Wow, there were tons of sea lions there!

This was just a part of the sea lions that were there.


What the?!?!?

Well, the trip was great! It may seem like we were going going going all the time, but we took some time to relax. It was a wonderful week.
