Visiting Portland

Another adventure I had this summer was traveling south to the Portland Oregon area. We actually stayed in Troutdale, about 20 minutes outside of Portland at a cool place named McMennamins Edgefield. They turned the old Multnomah County Poor Farm into a motel/brewery/winery. There is also a day spa with a soaking pool and a movie theatre on the grounds! They serve a mean bloody mary for those tough Sunday mornings....

Portland is about a three hour drive from Seattle and is a very fun city! I was bummed we did not get to visit Michele and Liz while we were there but they were already in Australia.

My favorite place that we visited was Multnomah Falls. This is one of the tallest free-falling waterfalls in the United States. It is in the Columbia Gorge and is one of many waterfalls and hiking spots in this area. We did not hike to the top this time but there is a trail that goes ALLLLLL the way up!
























Watch for more posts coming soon....my website managers have been quite busy getting ready for winter but I will try to keep them updating more frequently....hard to get good help these days ;-)

Lets be careful out there!
