Here are the photos of my Oregon trip that I promised yesterday. I have a ton and it was really hard to choose just five. But here is a walking-tour through the state you'll never visit:
First, just try to tell me this isn't the most gorgeous, pristine beach you've ever seen?
The first thing I did when I got there was go to the Tillamook Cheese Factory. I love going here because they make squeaky cheese. I knicknamed it that because it actually squeaks on your teeth when you chew it. They also make my favorite ice cream of all times "Oregon Strawberry". Not usually a fan of strawberry, but this is the best ice cream you've ever tasted.
One thing about the west coast, you don't go playing in the water like you would on the east coast. The water is literally frigid. It was 45.7 degrees the day we went in it. Every so often, my sister and I get daring and we get in, slowly going numb, until we can stand to let the waves wash over us. We're insane.
And finally -- if you weren't convinced of its beauty to this point, you must concede this is the most amazing beach photo you've ever seen.

Partly in jest, partly seriously, but isn't that first pic of the rocks in the ocean where the final scene of "The Goonies" was shot? You know, when the pirate ship is sailing out of the cave?
Anyway, looks like it was a great trip.
Wow! You need to make prints of some of these shots -- especially the last one -- get them framed and hang them around your cubicle. They are as lovely as a lot of things you see in art galleries. I suppose surrounding yourself with beautiful pictures of Oregon might make you too homesick, though.
