It has been 2 years since we went all together as a family to visit my family in Seattle, so we decided to spend thanksgiving there this year. It is a LONG drive! We detoured a tiny bit and spent a night at Cannon Beach, Oregon since Ben and the kids have never seen the Oregon coast.
We loaded up the car at 5:30 pm. I drove until 2am and Ben took the hard shift from 2am until we arrived which was at 11am, which was much earlier than we anticipated!
Around 9am we were driving through some of the most beautiful parts of Oregon State and the kids had woken up. Inspired by Ben's brother, Bradley, and his wife, Jessi, who are always exploring their surroundings, we decided to take a scenic highway. We're so glad we did! We found Multanomah Falls and a few other beautiful falls in the lush Oregon Forests.

It was fun to pass a city with our last name!
Evelyn at Multanomah Falls. We climbed up to that bridge and got the view from there.

Oh this looks so wonderful!! I miss that place, Oregon is pretty close to WA. They're both pretty! I'm glad you guys had a great time, those falls would be a nice detour! The beach looks like a lot of fun too!! :)
