Day 4

Willamette River

Was headed home from amazing outing with my girlfriend Mary. She had lots of errands to do this day. So I went along for the ride and was so glad I did.

We were crossing one of the many bridges that cross over the Willamette River.

Mary was like hurry takes some photos. I was laughing so hard I didn't think I was going to get any. But this one came out beautifully!
