(That's me one afternoon after hiking back from the Olympic Hot Springs.)
I'm back from my marathon vacation around Oregon and Washington! I'm tired but happy to be back in my bed after more than a week of sleeping in odd places. (Not to mention back to my very own bathroom with all of my toiletries and such, this morning I feel thoroughly clean.) I had an excellent trip. I flew into Portland, visited with an old high school friend and made some new ones. My friend Stacey met me there and we drove to Astoria, OR and thereabouts to see some Lewis and Clark related places. We camped for a couple of days in Olympic National Park, with beautiful weather and sites to see. I visited with more old friends in and around Seattle and saw my sister. It was a great trip and I'll hopefully have some of my pictures up soon.
Welcome back!

Welcome home, cookie puss! Sounds like such a fun trip (I used to make those rounds quite regularly myself when I was a wee Reedie, living the wet life in Portland). Tell us more!

I am looking forward to hearing about your trip. I'm moving to Portland in 3 weeks, and can't wait for the camping adventures. So - give reviews & recommendations, please!

I'll work on a long post tonight. Promise.
Amy, I'm jealous of your move! I went camping in Washington state, but can definitely recommend some spots. I'll include specifics.
It was nice to be offline for a week, but it's equally nice to be back.

Great photo. Glad you had fun.
I'm just living vicariously through other people's vacations lately.
Still fun though!
:)

I went to Astoria, too! Different Astoria, though... mine was in Queens :)

Washington and Oregon are amazing! Thanks for posting the pictures for us to all enjoy.
Welcome home and back to laundry hell. :)
