Day 1: Ten Things That Make You Happy

I've been reminiscing about my recent trip a lot lately.. I really miss being in Oregon. The only other places I have had these really strong feelings for is London & Yorkshire so that should give you some idea of how hard I fell for Oregon. When I left, I immediately started thinking about how/when I could get back there. I've been thinking it ever since I got home too. Have you felt that way about a place you've visited.. did you rush back or let it all simmer for a while?

Haven't been posting.. it's a hectic time of year and we are now two people down in the office at one of our busiest times PLUS some bright spark decided it would be great of office morale if our department had a Christmas decoration competition so I've been busy putting all those plans together.. it's been fun but tiring & hectic. Long story short, I just haven't had much time for social media but here's a photo of the Space Needle & a plane in Seattle to get you through

Because it's 2.30am & I can't sleep, I'm starting to jot down some ideas for the road trip my sister & I are doing in Scotland in May... using an actual map no less!!

One thing I really loved about Portland is all the retro signs.. another reason to add to the "Number of reasons why Portland is so cool"

Being back at work for a full week after 3 weeks off severely kicked my butt and we have a huge 3 weeks leading up to Christmas before a week off. Heaps of people love this time of year.. I'm not one of them. Anyway, onto more important things.. I have so many photos and I haven't even gone through 1/4 of them. I'm still just posting ones that I have previously edited 😂 This photo is a street corner in Portland, I loved the blue skie, trees & colourful shops. I was so lucky with the weather and didn't have rain except for one day. I even had a couple days where I didn't need a jacket. I also loved that I got a piece of autumn. We don't have it here in Brisbane so anywhere I can go to get my fix has a massive tick from me.

Do you have so many holiday snaps that you don't actually know what to do with them? Yeah me neither 😂😂 I managed to get lucky & capture this cute little mini as it came around the bend at Shepherd's Dell in Oregon recently. The 1/2 day tour I did with @americashubworldtours in early November was a massive highlight of my trip. Not only was my driver, Johnny, informative & super helpful but driving through this small part of Oregon really made me fall in love with the area and gave me a hunger to go back.
