Summer Vacation in Portland

Guess what came in the mail last weekend? My new camera lens!! Wait, I think I told you that already. Oh well. I guess I’m excited!

I also am waaaaaay overdue with my Portland pictures! We went over the Fourth of July. Oops. But, here I am, doing it now. I’m doing so while suffering from some real #firstworldproblems…these pictures took forever to upload. 🙂

Our Portland trip was phenomenal. It was our first time visiting the Northwest, and we loved everything about it! Mostly I loved the landscape. I’ve never been somewhere so beautiful! I would argue it is prettier than Salt Lake City, and I liked Salt Lake City a lot. But there, you mostly get mountains. In Portland, you get mountains AND trees AND waterfalls. Does it get any better?

We spent one day hiking in Portland, then another two nights camping on the shore at Seaside Beach. We had a fire on the beach for the Fourth of July and watched the fireworks. It was amazing! I’m going to let the pictures do the rest of the talking, because Portland is just gorgeous.
