Beautiful Sunday in Portland, OR

Jan, Jacqui, Me, Melody, Kathy, Mike at the Columbia River Gorge


It was a beautiful Sunday in Portland, Oregon. We hiked to the top of Multnomah Falls, an amazing waterfall that compares easily in awe factor to any in Hawaii. In fact, the ride to the falls is filled with so many other beautiful water falls, it's almost like the Hana Highway on Maui. Anyway, the walk was steep (again), and it was slippery, but it was refreshing and fun, and oh so breath taking! We also visited the Columbia River Gorge, and the Bonneville Dam and fish hatchery.
When we returned to our hotel in the late afternoon, we only had a couple of hours to do our laundry before we were to be ready for dinner. Dinner is at Melody's sister's house (Kathy). We ate Salmon (that she had actually caught, I thought that was neat), steak and potatoes. It was delicious! Thank you very much kathy for opening your home up to us, you have a beautiful family. I enjoyed every minute I had with your family. We played a game that we have at home- Catch Phrase. Everyone had a wonderful time! Poor Niko (hee hee). Of course, the whole evening was full of laughter and good times and good jokes! I think we are all ready now for another week of chaperoning 50 fantastic kids to Seattle and to Glacier National Park.
