We live in the outskirts of Portland. It's not all that impressive right where we live. Just your average apartment complex:
With your average drive home from wherever you've been:
But we do have the Downtown area. I love the Portland skyline at night (note: I did not take this picture!):
But we also have the beach nearby (a 1 1/2-2 hour drive to one of the closest ones, Cannon Beach), which we've already been to with Dorothy a few times:
As well as many, many gorgeous hiking trails within a 1-2 hour drive, such as trails on the Columbia Gorge, with a plethora of waterfalls:
As well as hiking in the mountains (and skiing if you're not a total clutz like Moi):
Oh! And if you want to go on some breathtaking backpacking trips, simply drive 3-4 hours to Central Oregon. Hiking around the 3 Sisters is the most incredible experience ever!:
There are so many more things that I don't have digital pictures of, such as the zoo. I must say, Oregon is one of the most beautiful and diverse states in the contiguous US. Don't you agree?

I must admit we do live in a beautiful state.
Wow - how gorgeous!! I definitely want to come and visit!
The cars driving on the wrong side of the road freaked me out though!! x
How gorgeous! It must be nice to be near mountains and ocean at the same time...
I do agree that Oregon is the most amazing of all the 50 states!
Okay, I haven't seen all 50 but Oregon is my birthstate and I miss it often, especially the beaches!
Oh my gosh, those pictures are absoulutely breath taking!
I love the pic of you and your hubby...you look stunning.

Great pictures, and you all look great!
I only lived in Portland for a year, but your pictures sparked so many memories. Though, honestly, the view I saw most was the one through the windshield.
