Portland Getaway!!!

We cannot thank Grandma enough for coming to stay with the boys so we could fly off to Portland for a weekend away and to visit some dearly missed friends!

Reunited at a super cool bar overlooking the city!

 

That’s Washington on the other side of the river, Columbia River!

Multnoma Falls!

 

I was seriously in love with these mossy trees!

 

This is the best photo bomb EVER!  Klaus!

And then we pub hopped, first stop mini-beers at Full Sail Brewery in Hood River, OR, which is the cutest little town!

 

Then we crossed The Bridge of the Gods to get over in to Washington to go to Walking Man Brew Pub! 

The view was not so great at night though, LOL!

  

And back in town we stocked up on more beer, this one made me LOL!

Then we went CRABBING on the Oregon Coast, Rockaway Beach!!!!

Yes, I am stuffing a dead fish in to the ring!

 

Dropping the nets!

And pulling them back up!

We are VERY proud!

But this guy is a little upset!

Beautiful!  (even if they are females)  So it turns out that we had it wrong, we captured all females instead of males.  So in the end we had to return our crabs to the sea!

Our reward!

And another awesome photo bomb!

Next we drove down to Canon Beach to check out the beach and grab some dinner!

Next day, more adventure!  More falls!

Mossy Fence!

And then we went and hiked through Ape Cave, a Lava Tube!!!  Here we are starting to hike up to the top of the tube!

Yes, that is snow!!!

And here we are staring into the hole….You go first!  No you!

 

Reward!

This guy may have squeeled like a little girl and jumped for joy when we found the exit to the cave!  But we were right there with him in our excitement!

Back home, time to enjoy our ginormous oysters we bought on the bay before heading back home!!!
