There are two exception to this. The pulmonary vein carries oxygenated blood from the lungs to the heart. And in fetal circulation the umbilical veins carry oxygenated blood.

Veins are blood vessels that carry blood from all parts of the body back to the heart.
Arteries carry blood away from the heart, veins carry blood back to the heart.
Aorta carry that. And the veins carry the oxygen poor blood back to the heart and lungs.
