Multnomah Falls!

After Jeff came home from work he wanted to go to Multnomah Falls which is about 20 minutes from where we live.  A man Jeff works with said that it used to be the #1 tourist spot in Oregon, now it's an Indian Casino...at least we did our part to bump up the numbers today!  Jeff had been before but I hadn't, it was amazing!  It had great views of the Columbia River and I still can't get over how GREEN everything is.  We hiked a mile to the top of the falls, there are a few other hikes that are longer so I want to still do those, I told Jeff we should go back at least once a month :)  There is a restaurant at the bottom of the falls and I thought it would be a good place for our 2 year anniversary dinner next month - or tomorrow night...whatever :)




It's getting steep!

At the top of the falls


We also got a pretty shot of Mt. Hood from the lake by our apartment complex, it's amazing that we get to see this view everyday...at least when it's not raining!





If you click on the picture to make it large you can see Mt. Hood behind our apartment complex - today was a beautiful day in Oregon :)

We drive by the Falls everytime we go to Oregon but we've never stopped cuz there are always SO MANY CARS THERE! As a matter of fact, we did stop once and couldn't find a place to park so continued on. We'll have to have you take us sometime when we come over. Your apartment has a fantastiv view! BEAUTIFUL!
