Portland and Dot & Juan's Wedding

Portland was amazing! We were able to see and do a lot while we were there and we have some pretty awesome pictures. We explored some of the microbrewery brewpubs and had some fine beers. We also saw a bunch of waterfalls on Saturday. Three of them were along this small road on the mountain but we didn't have to go far off the road at all to see them. Then we went for a longer hike with Carrie & John and we hiked up this mountain to see this amazing waterfall.

We also went into Portland to go to their "Saturday Market" which they have Saturdays and Sundays. It was like a mini- Arts Fest! We couldn't believe they have it every weekend. We got a really beautiful picture for our one bare wall in our apartment. It's a picture of this rushing stream that is almost turquoise and has green trees in the background. It is perfect and exactly what we were looking for.

Dorothy and Juan's wedding was absolutely gorgeous. They got married outside at a lodge that was overlooking the mountains and the Columbia River. It was really beautiful and I was so glad we were able to be there to share their day with them. The reception was fun too, and of course John (some of you may know him as Meatball) and one of Juan's friends ended up having a dance-off to early 90's music...quite a site.

Overall it was a great trip but we are very much looking forward to a low-key weekend! Here are a few pics from out west. The rest are on my webshots page. Scroll down for the url...I know it's on some other posts.
