[Oregon] state of mind.



Hi there.  

Been a while, hasn't it?  We got back from Oregon late Wednesday night, but the mellow, laid back vibe that this state- our trip- embodied is still lingering.  Not good, seeing that real life resumes bright & early this very mornin'.

Finally unpacked Saturday night, preceding a bottle of wine & not 1, but 2 movies.  Back to back.  That never happens.

Kinda daunting, getting back into it after all this r&r, but pretty exhilarating at the same time.  A new year awaits.  

An open road.  

Work to be done.  Pleasure to be pursued.  

I'm ready.


But first- I thought I'd share a few pics...  An entire week with Ryan's grandparents, an abundance of trees, and simple, natural beauty in every direction... just what we needed.


{one big trip with lots of little trips in between.}

...an overnight stay with family.

...a rainy drive to the coast.

...for clam chowder, fish n' chips, & grandpa's favorite- oyster stew.
                        

...a trip to the museum.
                                                                           
                                         
                                     
                                    
...to the produce market.
                                                     
...and of course...
                                     
...to wine country.
               
{rain or shine}
                                       
...tasting into the wee hours of the night.

(well, until sundown anyhow)

  3. Sounds like a fantastic week with family. I always forget how beautiful the Oregon coast is. I've only been there once but it was amazing. It's funny, I was walking through the Farmer's Market yesterday and thinking about Oregon and how amazing their Saturday Market's are. I think I need to plan a road trip. Welcome back and happy new year.
