Oregon - Part 1

Dad, Mom, Carla and I went to Oregon for a week in July. We were invited to Silverton by Dean & Heidi Sinn for Bible Class Invite-a-Friend weekend. I'm skipping a few things so that I can put these pictures up since they are way more exciting than pigs and goats (to me anyways).

We had an afternoon flight out of Albany, NY on Thursday July 23rd. I worked for 4 hours in the morning and then we hit the road for what was an AWESOME trip!! We landed in Portland a little after 10 PM. The time change made for a long day that day (3 hour difference) but it only took that night for me to get used to it.

Friday we spent part of the day in Portland. My coworker had told me about a couple of things and I wanted to ride the Portland Aerial Tram. I didn't know that it was associated with a hospital, but they let tourists pay a fee to ride it.

The gondola thing that we rode up & down in.

Never had this view of a highway before! :)

Mt. Hood (I think)

Going back to the lower part of the hospital

After the tram ride, we headed to the Sinn's house. We had dinner plans that evening at Silver Falls. While we were getting ready is when I realized that I had brought the wrong charger for my good camera (still can't believe I did that!). Mom used Dean & Heidi's camera that night and I just used my phone.

On the way we went by these fields that they were burning to get rid of stuff in the ground, or something like that.

This is what it looked like after

After dinner, the Bible Class played some "ice breaker" games

And the rest of us took walks around the falls.
