Anniversary Adventure

So, on June 11th David and I celebrated our third wedding anniversary. Deciding that we hadn't had much time to explore the state of Oregon together, we set out on a mini adventure. We headed to Portland for the night, and just happened to be there during the Rose Festival. We got to see the parade of flower floats and than strolled past the carnival rides, carnival food, free music down the waterfront on a beautiful sunny day in Portland.

 
The next day, after wandering the streets of Portland to find a particular breakfast food cart, we headed towards the Columbia River Gorge and it's many waterfalls (to kind of remind us of our honeymoon in Kauai with lots of waterfalls as well). I have already been to the area for the field trip at the beginning of the school year last September, but this was David's first trip. The sun was shinning and due to the 'warmer' weather the waterfalls looked spectacular! We followed the historic scenic highway, stopped at a few waterfalls and the View House at Vista Point to look at the view over the Columbia River. Our final stop was Multnomah Falls, which was packed with people enjoying the nice day.

After the strenuous hike to the top, we returned back down, chugged our water (which we left in the car) and left. We got lucky, because as soon as we were done, it began to rain, pretty much all the way home. We stopped and had lunch at Tad's Chicken and Dumplings, filled up on the delicious food (which I forgot to take picture of because I was so hungry after our hike, that I ate my food before I even though to take a picture). We drove home, thoroughly tuckered out, and relaxed for the rest of the night. It was great to get to share that with David, and make another memory for our anniversary.
