Unfortunately our trip through Oregon wasn’t as long as we had thought it would be. There was a lot of rain, something we will have to get use to if we want to enjoy living in Vancouver. We’ve been so fortunate with weather the last 4 months, we’re not s
ure what to do with ourselves in the rain. Fortunately it wasn’t raining all the time, so Trevor managed to do some highway biking along the coast and I some running on the park trails.
We stayed at state parks along the coast, including Harris Beach, South Beach and Beverly Beach. We wandered in the tide pools at Harris Beach and the kids were thrilled to discover all the little creatures hiding in the rocks! 
We managed to catch up with our Irish friends whom we had spent a week with on a beach in Mexico a couple months ago. The kids had been waiting for this reuniting for a long time. It was fun to hang out and to have a partner to run on the beach with again.
We got a few deals at the Lincoln Outlet Mall, $5 jeans for Kiah and $15 jeans for me…..and Oregon has no tax, absolutely zero! We spent 2 nights in Portland, with the main objective to get Trevor’s bike set up the the big race…7 day BC Bike Race. Again it was much cheaper to get done here than in Vancouver.
Oregon is beautiful and has many great state parks, we wish we were able to enjoy it in the sunshine. But it’s only 6 hours from Vancouver to Portland, so we can easily return in the future.
