In a carpe diem moment last month, Tim and I decided to take a train trip to Oregon over his spring break. We'll be leaving from Syracuse on Friday March 9th and returning on Saturday March 14th. The first leg is from Syracuse to Chicago. Then it's Chicago to Portland. The states we will travel through: New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota, North Dakota, Montana, Idaho, Washington, Oregon. We'll then hop on a bus from Portland, Oregon, to Newport, Oregon, on the coast. This also happens to be where Rogue Brewery is located, which I did not discover until after I had decided on Newport as a final destination because it's near a place where we can rock climb right by the ocean. Needless to say this made me even happier about my decision.
Besides throwing ourselves a wedding, this trip may be the least frugal decision we've ever made. Thankfully, our tax return can pay for most of the trip. I know you can argue that this money could have been "better" spent, but unless your argument is a trip to Paris or Buffalo Bills season tickets, I win. (And even then I may have you beat.)
We're really excited about this. So in the next nine days, if you catch me smiling for seemingly no reason, this is why. That, or I'm thinking about this.
