Blue Mountains

My love and I spent the last three glorious days taking in as much of the Blue Mountains as we possibly could. Oh, the wildflowers, sunsets, and forests! Some of the prettiest I've ever seen.

Eastern Oregon is a 6 hour journey from home, and each minute in the car together felt like heaven. We listened to our favorite music, stocked up on delicious snacks, held hands, and enjoyed the beautiful scenery. It was the perfect beginning to our long weekend adventure. <3

We slept beneath the stars and listened to the wind howl at night, and were greeted early in the morning by deer and elk coming to drink from the small pond nearby.

We roamed the wild and untamed forests. He found a giant hawk feather and I picked a bouquet of wildflowers.

 
It was the kind of trip you wish would never end.
