Oregon

My husband recently got a job as the Director of Facilitation at Tree to Tree Adventure Park, a ropes course in Gaston, Oregon. CJ (my husband) moved us up to Oregon while I was in the Middle East. I came up last week after all of my adventures, and so now we are both living in Forest Grove, Oregon. It's great to be back with him! CJ took a few days off of work so that he and I could travel around western Oregon a bit so that I could get a feel for the area. We started off by camping at Ainsworth State Park near Multnomah Falls. This area is located roughly 45 minutes outside of Portland, and it is beautiful! We hiked around a bit to a few of the many falls located there. Here are some photos.

We also took a day and drove out to the coast to Cannon Beach. We visited many of the art galleries there and took a stroll up the beach. The wind was blowing and it was freezing! We had a great day there though.
