Wells Go West

Standing beside one of my best friends on her wedding day was the perfect opportunity to hop back across the ocean for a few days and spend some time in the USA. We got to check 2 states off our list and explore the beautiful Pacific Northwest. PLUS we got to hang with my college besties and my family! Great trip all around.

We landed in Portland and it was straight into party time celebrating Jani...

Rehearsal dinnerin'....

Wedding Day!

After the weekend wedding activities, John and I rented a car and headed to the Columbia River/Hood River area. 

We explored the Oneota Gorge which was really cool. We had to climb over a huge (and dangerous!!) log jam to get back to the waterfall. Beautiful!

We had some yummy American pizza and beer...

And hit the road the next morning to Mount Rainier...

SO PRETTY!

The next morning we started the 1.5 hour (more like 3 with traffic) journey up to Seattle to meet up with my parents. We segwayed, kayaked, ate, and drank our way through the city. Seattle reminded me a little bit of Sydney. Loved it!

We finished our trip with a long layover in Los Angeles and a hangout sesh with some new friends we met at Jani's wedding! Loooove how this world of ours keeps getting smaller and smaller.

It was a whirlwind 8 days but very worth it to catch up with family and friends.

Now, let's wrap up this cold and rainy weather, Sydney! It's about summa time!
