Rose Garden, Crown Point and Multnomah Falls

What a glorious day for touring… it was a little warm and muggy, but still beautiful. And I actually got a great shot of the siblings :)  The above photo is from the Vista House(1916) at Crown Point along Oregon’s Historic Columbia River Highway.  It doesn’t seem that exciting, and to some it isn’t, but it sure is a beautiful view! They’ve recently refurbished the old building and I must say they have done a lovely job, it’s just beautiful.  On this side of the river is Oregon, and on the other side of the river is Washington.  Just ten miles down the road is Multnomah Falls.

The Falls are really cool (along the drive to the falls are several smaller falls, and were we in the mood to hike we may have visited them as well… but… well, just have a look on Matt’s face…in his defense it was hot, but then again, I think he was just being himself!)

Today we are all exhausted.  Matt & Sam had to work, I cleaned, and Es had to pack… not a fun job! But it was worth it! 

Tomorrow we have to get up at an UGLY hour (about 5am) and take Esther to the airport.  But tonight the siblings are out in the office having a LAN party (for you non “tekkie’s” like me, that’s where they hook several computers up through a Local Area Network–think bunches of wires–and play a computer game against each other). I however not finding the joy they find in this have decided to get some sleep  :)  so I’m off to bed…

We’ll be sad to see Es go.  We’ve enjoyed having her here, I think one week end longer would have been better!!!  Maybe next time :)
