Farewell, Lovely Coast

First off, I just have to say, who knew America was so cool?

We decided to take Amtrak from Seattle to Portland to introduce Walt to his Great-Grandpa Burgener. We left from and arrived at the two coolest train stations I've ever seen. The ride itself was relaxing, beautiful, and fabulous. So fun!

We had a marvelous time with the Burgener clan in Oregon. Walt was completely spoiled, as were Landon and I - lots of free babysitting, yummy food, and time spent with family.

We toured a lot of fun sites, including Multnoma Falls:

Check out those handsome Burgener men!

Columbia Gorge:

Mount Saint Helens (Landon totally geeked out):

The Portland Temple:

And the Tillamook Cheese Factory:

We topped it all off with a few days on the lovely Oregon Coast.

We were sad to leave, because it was such a fun trip. But as always, we're happy to be home again!
