what a weekend!

I graduated this weekend from the University of Oregon with my Masters of Science in Arts Management. Travis’ family and my parents came to town for the event. We have had a wonderful time! We ate out at lots of local restaurants, shopped downtown, climbed Spencer’s Butte, went to Saturday Market, ate cake, and went to an o.a.r. concert… and we spent lots of time talking and visiting.
Above is a photo of me and my mom and dad at King Estate Winery today. It was absolutely beautiful and the food was delicious! We took our time eating outside since it was such a beautiful day. I had Salmon and Pot de Creme. I would recommend trying it out if you live in Eugene.
On Father’s Day we all climbed Spencer’s Butte. It took us a few hours to complete the round trip hike, but it was worth it for the view!
This is a photo of Chelsea and me with our matching umbrellas at the Saturday Market before graduation. We were just about the only people in Eugene using umbrellas, but at least we looked cute!
Travis’ family had to leave this morning because they are driving home all the way back to Kansas, but my mom and dad are here for one more day. I am sad to see everyone go because we have had such a fun time, but Travis in I will be in Kansas City in a little over a month for my brother’s wedding. In between now and then, I will be squeezing in a four-week trip to Italy!

Congratulations!
That winery is GORGEOUS.
Do you read Ali Edwards’ blog? She is a famous scrapbooker [has books out, teaches worldwide, etc]. She lives in Eugene and her hubby just won the congrssional rave for that district. Maybe he is your congressman?
