Ode to Camtown

By -

Brad and I are going to visit my parents (and Matt!) next week for UEA, and I'm so excited! I think I get my unnatural sense of excitement from my mom. She's had our itinerary, sleeping arrangements, and menu planned for weeks.

This is a picture we took on our last trip to the PNW, at Silver Creek Falls. There's a footpath cut out in the wall, so you can actually walk behind the waterfall and stay relatively dry. If the weather permits, we're planning on hiking to some of the other falls as well. Isn't it beautiful?!

I was definitely spoiled growing up around so much greenery... I remember when Brad first visited Camas, he was freaking out because there was moss everywhere. On the trees, on the rocks, on the steps to my parents' house. I love it. And I'll definitely sacrifice a little frizzy hair any day for the benefits the rain provides. (Although struggling with the hair actually instigated a series of haphazard haircuts in high school. Hmmm.)

Anyhow - hopefully when I'm home I can get my mom to actually post something on her blog. I'm pretty sure her entire blog has been crafted by Scott and/or Laurel.

You bet you life I am excited to have you guys home. I just had Laurel and Isabel home, Alicia, Blaine and Brett are coming for Thanksgiving, and if I can get Megan and Scott here soon, then I will die a happy woman. But yes, I do have plans for a "field trip" up the Columbia River Gorge. Honestly, it is a wonderful visit to five or six waterfalls, most of them visible from the car, or a short walking distance away. I think we'll have lunch at the Multnomah Falls lodge and then head to Bonneville Dam to watch the salmon jump the fish ladders upstream. It really is cool. And yes, I am a nerd.

I hope you have fun. I have still never been invited to Camas. I wish someone loved me enough to take me where there are waterfalls and moss. Have a great time and tell D "hidey ho" from me!
