I took a vacation to gloomy land and had an awesome time! :)

Haha, so yeah! This past weekend I flew up to Portland, Oregon to visit my little sister. She lives in a city just outside of Portland while she goes to PA school. In short, the trip was awesome and it was so good to see her! I spent Friday just hanging out while she was at class. I took her dog for a run in the pouring rain cause I just figured that’s what everyone does up there–otherwise, you would never leave your house! Apparently I assumed wrong cause people were looking at me like I was crazy, and a group of little kids even offered me an umbrella–while I was running! I also went to the Dollar Store and bought a ridiculous amount of Halloween decorations and went to town on her house. When Missy and her roommate came home, I like to think they were giddy with joy at the sight of the inflatable skeletons, wall-hanging witches, and orange and black ballooons! 🙂

Saturday was spent at a pumpkin farm that apparently is owned by the people from the TLC show, Little People Big World. Of course, I have no idea what this show is and I’ve been told about a thousand times that this is unacceptable. At any rate, the mom from the show was there and we got a picture with her. How adorable! We spent that night out in downtown Portland for one of Missy’s friend’s going away party, and had a blast. We went to dinner at the Portland City Grill which is the beautiful restaurant on the 30th floor that overlooks the entire city. Found some cool bars, and I managed to consume half of a VooDoo doughnut as well, so I can knock that off my life list! Making plans to head back this winter for some ski trips at Mt. Hood or Bachelor!
