How do we celebrate our first 365 days of marriage?? Take a much needed road trip to one of America's beautiful National Parks: Glacier National Park in northern Montana! For our first day of driving we did a straight shot up Interstate 5 from the San Francisco Bay Area to Eugene, Oregon. We stopped at the rest area at Lake Shasta- a beautiful stop- but were disappointed to see how truly low the water level was (see picture above).
Traveling into Oregon proved to be a windy adventure with rolling green hills - a stark contrast from central California's flat, dried grassy plains. Our stop for the evening is in Eugene, Oregon at the Valley River Inn. Since we are celebrating our One-year Anniversary, we upgraded to a river room where we have a beautiful view of the Willamette River that runs through Eugene. We had an awesome dinner riverside at the restaurant here where Ben enjoyed fresh Halibut and I tried Rack of Elk, which were both delicious! We topped off our day with a nice walk along the river.
