oregon trail

ronnie and i were supposed to be traveling to 

ireland, scotland and england this summer.

but with a new little one on the way,

that trip got cancelled.
wah wah

but we decided that we should at least take some sort of vacation

before our baby comes. just closer to home.

and even if its not europe,

i'm still excited. 

we decided to head to the northwest.

since neither one of us have ever been.

we fly into seattle for a couple of days,

then head south to multnomah falls in oregon

and end on the coast in newport. 

i got the ok from my dr yesterday to travel,

so we are headed out of here in april 

and i can't wait.

here's the thing:

since neither one of us has ever been to this part of the country,

it's hard to plan out our days because i don't know what

is a must see and what i can skip.

has anyone ever been to washington or oregon? any suggestions?

right now, ronnie's only mandatory stop is filson,
(an outdoor clothing store he's obsessed with)

so it's pretty much up to me to come up with fun things to do. 

while we're in seattle i want to see the 

space needle, ride a ferry to bainbridge island and go to pike's place market.

in oregon we're hiking to falls and heading to the beach.

anything else?

let me know if you have suggestions.

thanks!
