Where we ended up...

So the Sandy river was way overcrowded... I mean seriously you could barely see the sand. We never stopped, my DH just kept driving up river. Finally the road curved away from the water and we saw a sign that said Multnomah Falls 13miles. Being that we enjoyed traveling on a whim we both got exited and chatted about how we had each only been there once years before we were together. Multnomah Falls is also one of the location in Ren's book Good Night Oregon, so we continued up the winding road to our new destination. The drive was beautiful and we passed another land mark called Vista House at the Columbia River Gorge, also in Ren's G.N.O. book, but we decided not to stop there, it was hot, had no shade and tons of people. Onward through the woods we continued, I kept realizing more and more that we were not so prepared for such a trip: we hadn't brought a stroller because you can't push it in the sand and the dogs didn't have the right leashes for hiking. Oh well... it will be fun, I had brought the baby wrap and lots of snacks.
We finally arrive to what we had already knew would be a tourist mad house, but we found parking loaded up the gear and headed up. We had already talked about it being a short trip since I can't carry much for long and at some point babycakes was going to want mama.
