I will be spending the day today with Mary from Mich and her niece. I'm so excited! Mary is quite the traveler and I can't wait to talk to her about all of the places she has been. And why she decided to come to Portland of all places!
I am going to pick them up and start out with a drive through the Columbia River Gorge. I'm going to take the scenic route and stop off at places such as Crown Point and Multnomah Falls.
Then I will head to Hood River, OR and depending on the time we may just stop there for lunch , walk through town a little, or just head off on the Fruit Loop. This is HWY 35 that takes you from Hood River to Mt Hood. There are tons of farms and orchards that you can stop at to buy fruit and vegis. This weekend is the Gravenstein Apple Celebration. Mary may be loading her bags up with apples and shipping her clothes home!
I plan on finishing our day with a stop at Timberline Lodge on Mt Hood. It's suppose to be partly cloudy this morning and then clear up. So we should have some gorgeous views when we are up on the mountain.
I will tell you all about it tomorrow! With pics!

Barb those photos are a visual feast! OMG!!!I am so excited that you get to meet Mary.I really wish Glynis and I could join you and Renee also and everyone else I have blogged with and became friends with! Mary and I once talked about our travels and why we felt it was important. Life is fleeting and I hope some day to travel as much as Mary. I so want to go to Vegas. And I so want to meet a hot cabana boy and I so want to meet an Italian hunky gigiolo to snap a picture with him. Giggle! I was so lucky to grow up as an Air Force brat and spend the first 21 years of my life livng all across the USA and Europe. Have a wonderful time together. I know you will! Mary is so down to earth and she has always been so much fun to converse with although I don't get the time to do it often. I love chatting with all of you!
Time for me to shower and get ready for my deep tissue massage. Ahhhh!
