Visiting Jon In Oregon

In February my mom and brothers had a week long break from school so they wanted to go visit Jon in Oregon. Kaylie and I tagged along. We had a fun trip and Jon showed us a lot in the few days we were there. The first day we were there he showed us around the city of Portland. It was neat to see all the cool buildings and we even stopped at the famous Voodoo Doughnut shop. Outside the shop was a funny plant decorated as a monster. Kaylie got a kick out of it! The second day Jon took us to the coast and to the Tillamook cheese factory. The weather was not great at all, to say the least - windy and rainy, but we were still able to see the things we wanted. Once we finished touring the cheese factory we had some delicious ice cream! The last day we had to visit, we went on a tour of waterfalls! Again it was pouring outside so we jumped out of the car and back in real quick each time we wanted to see one, except for Multnomah Falls. We hiked just a little ways to get the best view and take pictures.  It was really nice to be able to spend that time with Jon and have him show us around. On the way home we stopped to take pictures in front of the Medford, OR temple.  It reminded me a lot of the Sacramento Temple. I had never been that far north, so I'm glad I was able to take that trip with my family. Marcus and dad had to work otherwise, I'm sure they would have come along too.
