Touring Oregon

When my sister came to visit, we took a little tour of the Northern Oregon coast. According to the GPS, we traveled all the way into the Pacific Ocean and back. After we went driving through the ocean, we decided we'd check out some sites. (For all you Office watchers out there- I can totally see why Michael drove into a lake according to GPS directions. Hey, you just want to do what the little voice asks. Our Garma gets a little crazy sometimes!) Here's some pics of the trip.

"Look mom, a pirate ship!"

"Should I really be doing this?"

"Yes, I love the sand!"

Freezing our Astoria's off in Astoria at Shipwreck Cove.

Mike's feeling a little piratey at Shipwreck Cove. Arghhh, baby!

We made contact with the Sea Lion Clyde.

So if any of you are Goonies fans, here's the house that the boys lived in in the movie. Mike was a little disappointed because he wanted to see the contraptions to open the fence and door and stuff. Yes, the house has converted to Judaism.

Kira at the Rose Gardens. Isn't she a doll?

Smelling the roses at the Gardens.

Here we are at the Rose Gardens. It is gorgeous there with more roses than I've ever seen in my life!

The Beauties of Oregon

I, Kimberly Courtright, will be your tour guide through a few of the beauties of Oregon therefore proving why everyone should take a trip to Oregon. If you look below, you will proceed to find the awe inspiring Wahkeena Falls and Multnomah Falls.

This is little Kira wondering if we are there yet.

Hey, it's me the tour guide, showing you Wahkeena Falls.

Here's Multnomah Falls! The upper falls drops 542 feet. The lower falls 69 feet.

Multnomah Falls again. I about ripped my pants sitting on those little prickly bars.

This is just a small taste of what Oregon is like. Don't you want to come and see it for yourself? Then you can stop and visit the Courtright's too in their new stomping grounds.
