My Trip to Medford, OR in Photos!


From May 14-16, my hubby and I went to Medford, OR for my Uncle's wedding! We flew into Sacramento, CA and ended up driving 5 hours up to Medford. Kind of a long trip for only a couple of days, but it was so worth it! The scenery was absolutely gorgeous, the wedding was beautiful and so much fun, and being with my family was great!

Sacramento, CA



Redding, CA

Mt. Shasta






I had never seen Mt. Shasta before in my life. And, by all the pictures I took, I have a lot more on my camera too, you can probably tell that I was just blown away by it. Mt. Shasta was covered with snow with gorgeous green trees all around it. I hope I can go back sometime soon and maybe even camp around the area. 
Miner Street - Yreka, CA




Before arriving in Medford, we made a pit stop in Yreka, CA - Miner Street. It's such a cute little town, with so many old buildings. I just had to take pictures of them! My mom and I also found a little thrift shop, Miner Street Antiques & Decor, that we spent some time looking through. I was tempted to buy a few things, but had no idea how I would get them home that I had to give up on the idea. 

Medford, OR - Wedding Rehearsal

I don't know why I didn't take more pictures of the wedding ceremony and reception, but I just didn't get around to it. Mike & Molly's wedding was so beautiful and fun! They've been dancing for almost as long as they've been together (around 18 years), so the wedding ceremony and reception was full of dancing! The bridesmaids and groomsmen danced to "Chapel of Love" by the Dixie Cups for the precessional. Uncle Mike's daughter Kristin later sang an emotional, heartfelt, and otherwise appropriate song, "At Last" by Etta James. At the end of the ceremony, they did a dance skit to a remixed version of Dirty Dancing's "Time of My Life" and a Black-Eyed Peas song. Needless to say, it was awesome!

Weed Souvenir Shop
On the way home from Medford, OR we stopped in Weed, CA. We stopped in Weed mainly because of the name of the town. Between the five of us, we had way too many jokes flying back-and-forth. So, we stopped in this little souvenir shop and bought a few things. Ray bought a Weed, CA shot glass with a picture of Mt. Shasta in the background and my sister bought an I Love Weed, CA tee shirt.

All in all we had an awesome three days traveling around Northern California and Southern Oregon. I can't wait to go back! 

Where have you traveled to recently?
