Location: Wilamette Valley, Oregon
My parents live in a small rural town in Oregon Willamette Valley. My younger brother and his wife live nearby, but my sisters and I are all spread across the country. We try to visit as often as we can, but it’s quite a journey with little ones, so we manage to make one trip a year. The last time we visited, I told my dad we wanted to stay for the summer, but we’d have to try to find a vacation cabin we could afford, WITH internet (so we can work), and a little extra space.
