Washington and Oregon Summer 2010 Vacation – Part 1

Monday, June 28, 2010 Posted in personal/studio

We are back from our trip! and of course we had an amazing time!! In just a few days, we saw everything from a super cool city, to snow covered mountains and rocky beaches. Big thanks to Efro’s awesome trip planning skills and Alice’s internet hotel deal hunting expertise, we covered almost 2000 miles of fun and only put a tiny dent on our piggy banks. It was nice to have Efro and Roni coming with us. We not only shared some good times together, one definite big plus is we have a professional photographer following us the entire trip :)   There are a lot of cool pictures (including Efro’s pictures), so I am making this a two-part blog. Here is part 1:

This is a must-go stop when visiting Seattle.

Seattle, Washington, Olympic National Park, Oregon Coastline, Crater Lake National Park, Portland

World Famous Pike Place Fish! Flying fish just like on TV and books (circled in red).

Another place that people have to check out when they go to Seattle, the first Starbucks!

Same old Starbucks coffee, but I guess people just gotta have one from the original store :)

The rainforest is super cool and it’s definitely something we don’t get to see in Texas!

Love this massive quadruple waterfall! See tiny people on the top right corner? It’s like 7 stories deep!

It was hard to find a restroom. When you do find one, the smell can make you faint. But when you gotta go, it doesn’t matter any more!

Efro’s pano of Second Beach at Olympic National Park. I love it!!

Some one had built a “tub”…Alice was ready for a bath. Cute!

This almost looks like a scene in Lord of the Ring or something. That mountain peak peeking out in the back I believe is Mt Olympus!

Part 2 should be posted really soon, be sure to come back because it gets better from here.
