This is one of my favorite little “nooks” for enjoying summer in the city… only minutes down the road from my studio in Downtown Lake Oswego! It was a good decision to take my twin 11 year old siblings for a swim in the Willamette River/coves on some sunny days while they were visiting this […]

We dined at Becky’s (known for their pies!) on the property for dinner the night we lodged there. You must eat there and […]

One of our bucket list items for things to see in Oregon was Crater Lake.  I’m so glad we got to experience it with my family during a quick overnight trip while they were visiting from Texas.  It was a big group of us (10 of us including George) so we didn’t really stay in one […]

One morning we got up and drove up to Sauvie Island Lavender Farm (stay tuned for that blog post!), which is North of Portland, and then stopped by Cathedral Park on our way back. It’s a pretty cool landmark in Portland and I thought it’d make for some pretty pictures since I hadn’t stopped here […]

My Dad, step mom, her mom, and the twins – Sam and Lisa, came to visit us from Texas for about 10 days last July. Yes… LAST July. I’m playing catch up on personal blogging after many months. My dad joined us about 5 days into the visit, and I had LOTS of “Oregon Summer” activities […]
