A couple weeks ago, I realized that we had stayed in California for several weekends in a row and therefore needed to go somewhere cool. So happens we also had a coupon for a discounted flight with Virgin America, so we chose the
coolest destination (ie "cheapest") and we went to Portland! Flew out Friday night and came back on Monday morning. We packed the weekend with walking around downtown, shopping at the weekend market, eating really good food and going on awesome hikes. And to finish out the weekend, we loaded up on voodoo donuts. It was awesome. Sorry I don't have a picture of the amazing donuts. They were so good we ate them before we realized we should have taken a picture. Enjoy the pictures I did take!
Saturday hike around Mt Hood area - it was kinda rainy, but sheltered because of the trees
So pretty!
We had to cross over several waterfalls. Jer shows us how its done!
Water everywhere!
Sunday hike to Angels Rest, then Devils Rest. The view above (from Angels Rest) was much better. We are looking out along the Columbia River Gorge.
Lots of water here, but it wasn't raining. All the leaves were shimmering because of the water droplets that didn't evaporate (it was a bit chilly)
View from Devil's rest looking the other direction along the gorge
Pretty impressive
Greeeeeeeeeen everywhere! It was so peaceful up here.
