Going Back East

We had a lot of fun on a trip to Eastern Oregon. We started out by heading over to the old farm where Jon's Grandma grew up which is currently still in the Gilliland Family. It has been in the family for 105 years. It was pretty amazing with lots of history. Jon's family was so kind to take us on a tour.















Here is the school his grandma went to





It was so peaceful on the farm!

We also went to the Irrigon watermelon festival. 


Where Jon did his best Merryweather Lewis impression 


We also went to the fish ladder where Jon was almost eaten by a fish



We went up to see Hat Rock



The next day we went up to see some Oregon Trail ruts and views







We also finally got to do the Pendleton underground tour which was pretty cool

It took us to an underground saloon





A Chinese laundry





An underground butcher



We saw prohibition era card rooms





And we can't forget The Cozy Rooms where the working girls worked




We saw the Chinese prisons, opium dens and living quarters




We had a great time and some great meals! But we missed Annabel so we had to come home :)
