Portland Revolve was crazy awesome! In all my years of traveling and doing Revolve, this city has always held a special place in my heart.
Not only is Oregon breathtaking with its beautiful scenery, but nothing about Portland is generic. The shopping, the food, the waterfalls – all of it is begging to be explored and have its picture taken. And quite frankly traveling is even better when it’s with your bestie. So, naturally, I grabbed Jenna’s arm and said, “Let’s go!”
We hopped off the plane and made a beeline for the car rental. Jenna had never been to Multnomah Falls, which is such a tragedy. I couldn’t sleep at night knowing we’d been so close and I hadn’t taken her so we grabbed my favorite latte on the planet at Stumptown Coffee then hit the road.
The drive along the Columbia Gorge is by far my favorite in this country – and I have done some driving across this country, let me tell you!
On the way we stopped at the Vista House, which offers such a stunning view that you have to pull over and stare and have your breath taken away.
We finally made it to the falls. Multnomah Falls is credited as the third tallest year-round waterfall in the United States. So it’s quite a sight to see.
I loved standing there having the ICE COLD beads of water splash my face as it hit the pool of water hundreds of feet below. I could have stood there all day.
Waterfalls are such a gift. And Jenna got to check them off her bucket list.
I think we talked for 12 hours straight constantly interrupting the other one mid sentence to point out the Oregon beauty. And then we got to our favorite reason for being there – THE REVOLVE TOUR!!! Which was a blast – you girls were so loud and fun and crazy and ask such great questions. Basically we are just crazy about you Portland girls!
Quite frankly the weekend ended too soon…
All in all, it was such a fun weekend. I ate my weight in food, had amazing conversations, and was reminded of how magnificent God is.
Sometimes it’s nice to pause from life and its busyness and all the tough questions and just stop for a second and absorb the beauty of creation and let His love wash over me. Like a waterfall.
Portland is such a great place for this.
Jenna, when are we going back?!?
