Oregon Trail

I blazed my own Oregon Trail this past week when I went to visit my family in Sandy, Oregon.  It was a wonderful trip & I was even treated to a snow storm!  It's not everyday that I get to be outside when it is actually snowing & wake up to a white winter wonderland.  It was great!

It was wonderful to see all of my Mom's side of the family.  We made great meals together, played lots of games, chatted up a storm & just enjoyed being together.  I even got to meet my three new second cousins - they're too cute!  Also, I got to see my darling friend, Kara, who just moved back up to Portland.  I was so lucky that it worked out to see her & I got to explore the awesome city of Portland a little bit on my own.  It was a fantastic trip. Here is my own Oregon Trail in pictures:
