Whew! Our weekend in Oregon with Amanda and Nova went by like the blur of a merry-go-round. We were happy to get home yesterday after a long (but blessedly uneventful) drive up the I-5 freeway. Except for a short meltdown in Portland traffic (who could blame her?) Nova was a patient traveler strapped tight in her car seat keeping three adults highly entertained for over 200 miles.
While Amanda was busy with bridesmaid duties, lucky Nana and Grandpa took Nova out to see the sights of Salem. The wedding was fun (more on that later) but the highlight was two visits to Salem's Riverfront Carousel:
Imagine seeing this marvel for the very first time? All three of us were mesmerized by the exquisitely restored horses. Nova had to give it some careful consideration with Grandpa, but soon she was brave enough to climb up on her own horse and get a riding lesson from Nana:
