50 States Blog Hop day 2 - Oregon

Welcome to the 50 States Blog Hop!!

Welcome to the 50 States Blog Hop! Most of us would love to travel but are having staycations this year. What better way to travel but through a blog hop. This hop was inspired by our host Shawnee's journey across the United States as she traveled with her family to their new home. The United States is truly beautiful with many wonderful places to visit and see.

If you've hopped along from Minnesota (Lisa Peters' blog), then you are in the right place!! If you are just joining me from your dashboard or happened along from somewhere else, please be sure to CLICK HERE to start with the first state in the union, Delaware, because you won't want to miss out on any of the fun (or any of the blog candy!!)...

There is an AMAZING Grand Prize Package for one LUCKY hopper (winner chosen by Rafflecopter)!! To be entered to win, please do the following:

Now on to my state and my project....

The state theat I am going to share with you is Oregon. My grandparents lived in Oregon and we visited quite a few times when we were kids (before they passed away). I have a lot of memories of camping and road trips from San Diego, CA to Portland, OR!

Here is my layout for Oregon:
