In Which: "Reunionizing"

Well, Scott made it all the way from Utah to Washington, and of course it was really great to have my pal back after a week apart.


Friday morning, we went apartment scouting in Salem. We found a few potential places, and I fell more and more in love with the idea of our internship-future there. It has a wonderful, quiet small-town feel, despite being the capital city of Oregon. There are parks everywhere, trees (of course) lining every street, and the Willamette River runs straight through town.

After lunch, we picked up Laura in Vancouver, then headed out to Gearhart on the Oregon coast for a gool ol' Grange family reunion.

The reunion was three days full of long-lost cousins from Colorado, pizza, bonfires, and beach games. On Saturday, we went on a two mile walk on the beach, lunch at Norma's, and then a drive back to Vancouver to take Laura home. 





 


When we got back to Gearhart, the bonfire was in full swing, the boys were playing football, and everyone was roasting hotdogs and making s'mores. It was a great finale to a great weekend full of reunions and overall fun with some of my favorite people!

Tomorrow begins the long journey back to Utah. At least I will have three wonderful traveling companions!
