Don't get me wrong: I love New York, too. But where else can you just climb a mountain and stand on the edge of the world better than you can in Oregon?
I took a much-needed vacation to Portland over Memorial Day. First on my must-do list? Hike. Nicole and I climbed Saddle Mountain this time.
We were supposed to see Mt. St. Helens, Mt. Hood, Mt. Rainer and the whole Pacific coast from the top.
But by the time we go there, our heads were literally in the clouds.
And this was as good as it got. But I'm not complaining one little bit.
Then we headed to the coast—Ecola State Park—which may be my favorite place in the entire world. The rest of the weekend was filled with bagels, coffee, crossword puzzles, Sauvie Island, Portland Saturday Market, four-square, beer, barbecues, good runs, beautiful weather and sun.
But most of all, I saw the people I miss. It's true—I don't think I'll ever be able to shake myself from Oregon.
