Awww. What a cute couple. Your outfits are great and I admire your light packing mentality.

Thank you for the wonderful comments, ladies!

Rae, hah I wish that were the case; I cannot tell you how many photos we deleted before we got that one I didn't know you liked hiking! If you ever make it out my way, my place is really close to a lot of amazing hikes (just sayin!).

K, ooh I am not familiar with either of those places! We're usually just down for a weekend, but sometimes longer. I'll definitely be messaging you if there's an hour extra on our next trip!

DV, thanks! I actually struggle mightily with this type of casual dressing since most of my wardrobe isn't truly casual. Especially in the footwear department. So any time I can actually come up with something that works for function and form I get super excited.

What gorgeous Falls! So worth the drive. I'm always happy to hear of couples taking time to get away together.

You outfits are soft in color and silhouette and rich in texture. Love the boots, and the way you manage to hike without resorting to full on gear!

Happy anniversary! I hope to visit Portland one day, I hear so much about how artistic it is. I think you were perfectly dressed, casual yet interesting with the colors and accessories. I love that wide striped sweater!

Thank you so much for sharing the waterfall photos, they are magnificent.
I like your casual outfit and your rationale has given me some good tips for an up-coming holiday which will similarly involve a lot of car travel.
