From Gorge to Coast

This week we ventured out in the beautiful NorthWest and experienced some of the reasons why I love it here so much! 

Check out some of the pics from our visit in the Columbia River Gorge:

(Scroll over photos to get a description.)
First of all, check out this shot from our drive in!

Taking a short walk down to the base of LaTourell Falls.

Rance, the kids, and Simon's butt at the base of the falls.

Was it a little wet at the base?  lol

Yesterday Ryan's brother's family headed home.  :(  Today, Ryan's parents and little brother got on a plane to head back east. :(

We had a wonderful week with everyone here!  And we have so many wonderful memories that we get to keep forever. :)

If you are interested in seeing the hundreds of pictures that I took (plus some that Susan took - I've been promised copies of the ones that Rance and Jess took soon), just check out our Photobucket album and browse through the various sub-albums.  Enjoy! :)
