Oregon

We spent the last week of our trip to the west coast in my beautiful home state of Oregon. Oliver had a chance to meet all 4 of my grandparents (his great grandparents), his aunt Katrina and uncle Steven, and many of our friends in Portland, Salem, and Eugene. I don't get to see my family often enough so I tried to soak in the time with my parents and sister (who came out to visit during our stay). We ate lots of good food (and coffee and dessert of course), watched some good movies (perhaps most notable was Microcosmos), spent an amazing day on the Oregon Coast, and enjoyed being together.
