mt. hood and downtown portland.

I've been loving it here in Oregon! There's so much to do here. Yesterday we left the city and went to Mt. Hood, one of the tallest mountains in Oregon. I was so surprised to see snow in July! Danica and I played a little bit in the snow then we headed down to Hood River. It's such a charming town filled with good eats, cute shops, and WIND SURFING! I am definitely going to try that once in my life! Here are a few pictures from our adventures!


Portland skyline! :)

Now onto the beautiful outdoors! That's the Columbia River which divides Oregon from Washington.


Look! Cute Alpacas on the side of the road!

Windsurfing! They looked like giant kites from far away! Please tell me that this is the coolest thing in the world! Hood River is known for the best spot to windsurf... who knew!?


Amazing, right!?


This place had the best cupcakes... not too sweet, just simply delicious! You got to choose the type of cake AND the icing! :)


This was a red velvet cupcake with cream cheese icing... pretty basic, but it's absolutely my favorite! :)

Here's Mt. Hood! Can you believe that we were up where all the snow was!? The view is simply breathtaking.

Here's my throwing a snowball! haha


Danica and I :)

It was crazy to see the skiers emerge out of the fog.

On our walk to the MAX station. All of the neighborhoods are so cute and welcoming.

I do like thai food! haha There was a whole block of food carts!

MAX tracks at sunset! I really like how this picture turned out.

This was from the first day at Central Park. The grass was so green! I just wanted to roll around in it.

Of course I wanted to take a picture of my baby cupcake. :)
That's about it for right now! I'm loving it here.
