Honeymoon

Trip to Oregon!!  In between our two receptions, Jonny and I were able to travel to Oregon to enjoy the beautiful Gorge and beaches.  We absolutely loved it. We were there from Monday until Saturday (the day of the reception).  Then we spent Monday with my parents and sister at the tide pools.  Here are some of the highlights from the whole trip.

This was the first hike of the Gorge.  It was actually just following the creek through a beautiful canyon to Oneonta waterfall.  We both wore water shoes thankfully.  However, I wasn't quite prepared for just how far we would get in the freezing mountain water.  We both ended in up to our necks.  There was one point where the canyon narrowed a lot and it got really deep.  There was no other way :P  We had a blast (just really glad my camera didn't get wet).  A great way to start out th week.

Our cute little apartment.  It was perfect for the two nights we were there since we spent most of the time out and about doing hikes and whatnot.  We actually spent one of the days going white water rafting.  I can finally check it off my bucket list!  That was so much fun.  Jonny and I sat in the front of the raft the whole time.

We had a great time splurging on food during our trip.  So there are a lot of pictures of the great food we ate :)

Boston creme pie!

This is the Bridge of the Gods.  We would take this every day to get from our hotel/cabin in Washington over to the Oregon side to do hikes.

These are all from punch bowl falls.  That was another thing on my bucket list.  I have always loved this waterfall and I am super happy I got to go.  The little walk was beautiful and we went early in the morning so hardly anyone was there.  Absolutely loved all the experimentation we had with my camera as well.

In between the Gorge and beach we made it to the Portland, Oregon temple.  I absolutely loved this temple.  So glad we got the opportunity to go.

The wonderful beach house that the Oldham's let us use for three nights.  It was amazing here!!

we had to ...

If you look a little later (I will mention it there too) we came back at low tide and I walked out to the rock just to the left of that ginormous wave!  That was a lot of fun and actually really beautiful.

more food ... well, more like more dessert.

before (look at the cute heart Jonny made for me!)

after!!!  Oh my word, best pancake I have ever had

Here is that rock with the wave right next to it!  It was cool to see where the water came up through that little channel.

The largest sand dune you will ever see in your entire life.  Yes, it was a mountain, yes it was very difficult to walk all the way to the top.  Yes, those are little tiny cars parked on the beach (to give a reference of just how high we are)

All the fun we had jumping off a super steep jump!  Even though this picture doesn't show it, I did land this flip.  It is amazing how far you roll when you have that much momentum.

All of our desserts in one fantastic bowl of goodness.

These are the tide pools we went to with our family!

We also went for a little hike through what looked like Jurassic Park.  On the way home we had to stop at the Tillamook Cheese factory.  I love the ice cream from there!  Then we stopped at a local peach farm and picked some peaches for the ride home.  Boy were those good too!!  It was a great day with the family before we came to Provo.  I absolutely loved this trip.
