Birthday Boy!

On Ian's birthday we went up the Columbia River Gorge in mixed weather to do some short hikes, eat a nice lunch, and visit a museum. We started at Multnomah Falls, passed through Eagle Creek and Stevenson, WA, to end at the Columbia River Gorge Interpretive Center (very cool) before heading home. It was a drizzly day, but we managed to have fun! And Ian got to spend it with his two best girlfriends - Guita and me - so it was once again a bang-up birthday!


Multnomah Falls (upper and lower), the second highest free-fall waterfall in the US at about 620 feet. And Ian and Guita making it look tall!

Eagle Creek, Oregon. It's so pretty here!


The sky stayed pretty low all day, and we agreed that we turned around in a good place: it started raining in earnest right before we got back to the car! Like sensible people, we retreated to the Skamania Lodge and had good food!
