Last week Rob and I went to Oregon to find a place to live and to make other necessary arrangements for our upcoming move. We were able to get a townhome the first afternoon we were there. It is two stories and has two bedrooms and two and a half bathrooms. It is very nice and we know we will be very happy there.
Here is Rob in back of the place:
That is our balcony behind him. Our first floor is the second story and our second floor is the third story. The view we have from our home is Delta Ponds - a nature preserve. We can't even see the city!
Because we acquired housing on the first day. We had extra time on the second day. it was a beautiful cloudless day and we decided to drive to the coast - only 55 miles away.
It was very windy, and you can't really swim in the ocean in Oregon even in summer (it is super cold) but we had a nice afternoon walking on the beach and enjoying the day. The drive to and from the coast is beautiful, especially now with the colors. The "pass" that we went over was 769 feet! We also saw a beautiful covered bridge on our way back.
We spent the next day make a few more arrangements and getting the lay of the land. Friday we had to drive back to Portland to the airport and because the trip was successful so early, we had the chance to go to the temple.
It was a great trip and although we will miss family and friends we are excited for our new adventure in Eugene Oregon. It is a great place to visit - come on up sometime:)
