This was the reason we took this trip to Oregon, to attend the Midwives Alliance of North America conference in Portland! All these photos were taken by Debbie Pulley.


First, 4 of my midwife friends took a trip north to see Mt. St. Helens and shared their photos with us.

The Mountain kept nice and calm while we were there, nothing except steam!

Richard and I working the MANA exhibit selling fundraising items. Richard enjoyed being around so many beautiful and talented women!

Our hotel was nestled in the pines and along the Columbia River.
