On my trip back up to Washington, I discovered some amazing
things (or at least that were new to me!)
- A coffee shop in the middle of nowhere with a tree painted on the wall and adorable décor such as Mason jar lights and rosemary as centerpieces most certainly gives Starbucks a run for its money.
- The University of Oregon campus is not THAT bad (as I found out through a tour from my friend Nicki).
- Getting lunch from a funky food truck in downtown Portland instantly improves your day and overall quality of life.
- Buildings with inflatable “art” make you look up and take in the surrounding scenery more.
- Malls that offer indoor ice skating rinks and tax-free shopping are better than those that do not.
- A city called Castle Rock would clearly be a great place to
find a frosted smiling dragonfly cookie.
