Girl Time.


On Monday Lydia, Delaney, Nicole and I went to Sacramento. We ate some delicious food and shopped. It was soooo much fun NOT buying anything.

No, it really wasn't that bad.

We stopped in Davis and ate at Crepeville for breakfast. They make the best potatoes.






I tried some of Nicole's carrot juice. It tasted like carrots, fresh carrots.




Aw, look at us.

We also stopped at the Dixon fruit market. I got some blackberries and peaches. It was so fresh and delicious.


LOCAL!

After I watched them shop we got to eat at my favorite restaurant, the CHEESCAKE FACTORY.
They have the largest menu ever, and it is all good. I got some chicken pasta. It was a fantastic day and it was fun to get away for a little bit.


All the pictures were taken by Nicole. :)

OREGON




So I have been trying to do this post for like a week but I am kind of slow at figuring things out. I finally was able to upload alll the bajillion pictures I took on our trip.

Kevin and I went to Oregon last weekend and it was so much fun! Molly was a great host and Oregon was beautiful.

The pictures are way out of order. So this is basically my trip backwards.


We went to the ocean and drove over 100 miles down the coast. It was beautiful, and driving that much didn't even phase us because it wasn't 100 miles of sagebrush.




Old Faithful.

The sand dunes are amazing, but after running around I had sand dunes in my shoes.

.


Seeing this was probably the highlight of my trip.





We went to Voodoo Doughnuts. Its a pretty famous doughnut shop in Portland that makes crazy doughnuts. Like these ones...




We got free (almost free) tickets to see a soccer game. I had never been to one before so the whole thing was really exciting. People get really into it. It was the Portland Timber vs. The Boca Jrs. Portland Timbers won with a free kick at the last minute!
We went to Powell's Book Store in Portland. It is a HUGE book store that is like a block long. There are a bunch of different rooms that have different genre's. The books are new and used so I found a book for cheap! No sales tax!
We went to the Saturday Market in Portland. Molly and I had Thai Food, it was my first time, and probably my last. Peanut Sauce? Really?
Kevin had a mini apple pie and a pulled pork Sammich.


On our first full day there we went and explored parks in Eugene. The town has beautiful parks. We ran into this while wandering. Ringo Starr will playing here in August.

We fed the geese/ducks. So VICIOUS. I couldn't even finish giving them my hot dog bun because I was so afraid of them.
We went into the new building on Campus. It's a building specifically for student athletes. U of O loves their athletes.
This was the lecture hall in the Nike Building. Each seat has its own outlet for computers. Each seat is leather. How special.

We ate at a cafe inside the new building. It was very classy. They serve good food too, which is a plus.

Molly's Apartment. It comes with the TV.

I will have to get better at this blogging thing before I leave. Especially since my internet access will be limited and I wont have hours to post.
