I remember my first trip to Oregon was with my parents. We went to visit my dad's sister, and her family in Salem. We were overwhelmed at the sight of their property on Aumsville Highway. There were so many trees, they operated a Christmas tree farm. I  remember a lot of fun was had on that Oregon visit.
