The drive to/from Oregon

This post is dedicated to all of the places we stopped by while driving through Oregon.  It took us about 11 hours to get there from Salt Lake City. It would have taken less time if Oregon changed their speed limit to 75. Also, it wouldn't have taken that too long if we didn't have many scenic stops. The drive was beautiful in some areas mostly in Oregon and got somewhat boring in Idaho and Utah.

While Brett drove the whole time, I took pictures of the beautiful drive so we have something to look at and share now :)





On the way there, we saw a lot of trucks carrying oversized load looks like pieces of the windmill. They don't look too big in pictures and from distance. I know they're not small, but were very surprise to see how huge each little hand is



I think this is Bonneville Dam



This is by Memaloose overlook of the Columbia River, that divides Oregon and Washington. It was kind of rainy and cloudy when we got there. The weather was so nice, mostly in the 60s and low 70s. What a nice break from Utah summer, eh?



Fun drive up the lookout point



Not sure what this area is. It looks fun though, like little pond by the big river. Not so intimidating to go swimming here.



The whole area up here is cover in this little blue flower.



Here is our lookout spot



Now here is an island in the middle of the big river, where we want to build a house and live there. I think it would be nice :)



This is a historic lookout near Idaho border.



As we were driving up to this point, we almost hit a little Bambi trying to cross the freeway. I'm so glad Brett was driving and not me. I would probably kill the deer.



And this is one of our few pictures of us together. You probably notice we don't take a lot of pictures of ourselves. Yeah, I like landscape pictures and Brett doesn't like to get his pictures taken.
