How I Spent My Summer Vacation: Sarah Cruickshank
LMPR is throwing it back to that perennial school day assignment of, “How I Spent My Summer Vacation.” In the first of a three part series Account Manager, Sarah Cruickshank, revisits her summer road trip to the scenic Oregon coast.
Among several weekends away in 2015, my one big vacation was a road trip through Oregon – a holiday I eagerly anticipated. While not my first time in this beautiful state, the 10-days I spent journeying through Portland, Salem, McMinnville, and Troutdale – with a final stop in Seattle, Washington – were certainly some of my favourite. The food, scenery, and countless activities all contributed to an unforgettable time away – one I’ll cherish for a long time to come.
See some highlights from my journey, below.

Who knew that Oregon boasts its very own “Cruickshank Road”?!

Edgefield is, without question, my new favourite vacation destination.

The famous “red door” leading to one of Edgefield’s many scenic gardens.

Room 215 is widely regarded as the most haunted room in Edgefield. Also where I lay my head for my stay! Lucky for me, no ghost sightings this time.
