Columbia River Gorge

My Mom (Kathleen), my sister (Bonnie) and I took a drive along the Columbia River Gorge, even though it was misty and gray outside. It was pretty, even without the sun, so I can't wait to drive it again on a sunny, cool autumn day when the leaves are changing.



Our first stop was at the Viewpoint Inn for lunch. The building was constructed in 1924 and is now on the National Register of Historic Places. Our lunch was delicious and the atmosphere was warm and welcoming. I'd go back anytime! Mom took this picture of it.

We kept on driving, came across numerous waterfalls and about a gazillion photo ops. The most impressive of the waterfalls was the Multnomah Falls. At the gift shop, I bought a huge poster of it for Katie. It stands about 6 feet tall and looks great on the wall here in our Portland apartment. Mom was our photographer during the drive and took this picture of the falls.
