Fun in oregon

November 27, 2012

It was so much fun to get away for a bit. We had such a great time visiting with our friends and I really enjoyed being out of the city. I joked with Walker that he should just leave me in Eugene.

They took us for a tour of the University of Oregon (where one goes to law school and the other works). The campus was so pretty. What I was super excited to see was Hayward field. The field that Steve Prefontaine ran on. I remember watching the movie about him back in high school back when I was running track and it stuck with me.

Later that weekend we also made it to a winery with the most beautiful views and ended up touring a local brewery in the evening. Nice safety goggles! Ha!

On our way back to Seattle I insisted we pick apples at an orchard I found despite the rain and mud. Now what do to with all those apples?

Sunny day adventure

November 13, 2012

This is one of the first weekends in quite some time that Walker and I have been able to explore. He had been studying so hard for the test he took last week and now he gets to relax a bit. Woo!

I had it in my head that I’d like to see one of the beached in town so we trekked it to Golden Gardens by bus and by foot. We walked along the beach a bit, looked at rocks and driftwood, and took a few pictures. It was such a sunny day but don’t let that fool you, it was super cold out. I was wearing wool mittens nearly all day long.

We took our time getting home and stopped half way for a happy hour and a couple of beers before hopping back on the bus to go home. Walker and I had a bit of a miscommunication about where to get off the bus and we ended up downtown. I for one was ok with it because they’ve started to put holiday lights up and it was really pretty.

Happy halloween!

October 31, 2012

Walker and I got invited to a Halloween party the other night and since it was last minute we hadn’t really planned on costumes. I looked around at what I had and decided an 80’s rocker would be fun (lots of eyeliner and big hair) and Walker went as Hunter S. Thompson minus all the drugs (although some may have assumed otherwise because he’s a pretty good actor).

I’m hoping to do a few more Halloweeny things this evening-I’ll let you know how it goes! Happy Halloween! Have fun and stay safe!
