Emerald City and the City of Roses

---

Spent some time in my favorite area of the country, the Pacific Northwest. We now have several good friends that live in the Seattle area, so it gave us even more of an excuse to visit. Grace had never been to Oregon, so we spent some time in Portland and the Oregon coast.

Missing Home!
Oh my goodness this was so great to see all of these pictures! It made me miss home a bit and definitely wishing I could get back there soon. Snoqualmie falls was one of my favorite places to go. Thanks for sharing Chris!!!

My home state!
That Oyster bar is in my Road food book, a good place indeed. I have been there and enjoyed a clam chowder bowl I believe. Also, I believe that is where Goonies was taped but I am not sure, I know it was at some place in Oregon.
