Mutnomah Falls and Portland

As I mentioned earlier, Oregon/Washington are so green and beautiful. We drove over to the Columbia River Gorge and hiked up Multnomah Falls

Made it to the top! Overlooking the falls.

It wasn't a really difficult hike and I think the fact that we live in an area with an elevation over 6000 feet helped too. It was just nice to be outside. Driving through the Gorge was really pretty too. There were lots of little waterfalls coming out of the mountains.

On our last day we spent some time in downtown Portland which appears to be a super clean downtown. We went up to the Rose Gardens which were so colorful and just gorgeous.

Portland!



There were so many beautiful roses!!
I would love to be able to go on walks there on Sunday evenings.

Like most little kids Jared loved the fountain in the gardens.
I love how he crosses his feet.

We are so glad that we got to visit with them!

Apparently Jared was really happy to get home!

He was a little tired of waiting for our luggage so I set him on the suitcase that had come out and he thought it was the funnest thing ever.
