3,200 miles later...

....we arrived home after seeing family in Utah, Washington, and Oregon. Here is a little photo journal of our whirlwind tour.

Logan, Utah where Ryan's sister and husband, Erika & Jim, have recently moved.

Next stop...Selah, Washington to see Ryan's parents. We made it in time to celebrate Mother's Day.

We finally used a wedding gift to stay overnight at the Edgefield McMenamins in Troutdale, Oregon. It's a historic site built around 1911 that has been converted into hotel, restuarant, movie theater, spa, gardens, etc. It's full of Portland ambiance making it a great way to enjoy a city that we're both fond of.

I had no idea this is how asperagus grows.
The "soaking tub" at the Edgefield.

And then we were on to see Steph's family in Oregon City.
Erika, Austin, Steph (looking overly excited), and Forrest.
At 12-years old, Forrest is almost the same height as Ryan.
I don't think Steph's mom was ready for this picture to be taken.
Sisters!
Ryan's brother & wife, TJ & Michelle, live in Portland.

Brothers!
There is some debate as to the accuracy of this odometer reading, but either way, the Jetta has yet again made it to and from Washington...probably a miracle considering how many of it's miles have been spent on rough Tijuana roads. Either way, we're grateful.
