Hood River


The vacation started out with a joyous wedding!


Arrived in Hood River and realized this would be our view for a week!


I got to spend quality time with Mike. We never get days off together, so to have a whole week felt like a miracle!


 We did some make shift spelunking in the ice caves.


we swam in a lake with a mountain view


Watched kite surfers and swam in the Columbia River Gorge











Enjoyed this view on the daily


Enjoyed some delicious ice cream


Got to play with this precious baby for a week


Spent time with the Jones clan. Did I mention his parents put this whole vacation together? It was quite a gift. 


We rock climbed, or attempted to. We know now we need to work on our upper body strength (when I saw we I really mean myself...)


 We walked around Hood River and realized it is where young people come to retire. Perhaps at 25 we will leave it all behind, move to Hood River and become wind surfers.


Watched many glorious sunsets.


Took a Mt. Rainer pit stop on the way home



 But saw no trace of Mt. Rainer, but it was still an adventure.
