We got back from Portland and Long Beach, WA Sunday evening. I had yesterday off, thank goodness. I needed a day to relax. Relaxing from a vacation. HA!
Anyway, we had a wonderful time in Portland and Long Beach. Raf and I decided that we want to move to Portland. What a beautiful little city! We both loved it there. We hit up the Trader Joes downtown and stocked up. Long Beach was cold and windy but beautiful, as always. I had a great time with the In-Laws. My MIL and I hit up the local quilting store.
On the way home there are two choices on which road to take. You can take either the Oregon side of the Columbia River or the Washington side. We usually take the Oregon side because the road is better. It’s a freeway so it’s a little bit faster. On the way home we decided to meander along on the Washington side. All I can say is WOW. What a beautiful drive. Here is a shot of Mt. Hood taken across the Columbia from Hood River, OR.
