Sonofa! In Portland.

My love is like a fried, fried chicken.

Hood River, OR, toll crossing. Bumper sticker in front of us: "It's all good in the hood." Def, as far as I can see.

We got a great spot on the riverside to spend the afternoon

Morning! From our kozy kabin.

@tibadoh & Mozey check out the Columbia River here at Spring Creek State Hatchery. Here with @lqseaton, we have our own waterfront lounging area.
seattlerachel:
Columbia Gorge garlic and tomatoes.
seattlerachel:
The harvest is just around the corner.
seattlerachel:
Mozey's first labyrinth. She fell asleep while @tibadoh carried her. #mtadams #ibrakeforlabyrinths
seattlerachel:
"I really wanna go down there. But I don't want to die." - @lqseaton @tibadoh checked out the scene for us. I held the baby. Adventure!
seattlerachel:
Mozey figured out clapping today. I tried to catch it in action with @tibadoh assist. Every time I snapped a pic, she did something else. @lqseaton assures me there will be plenty of time later to capture this.
seattlerachel:
Carried to the top of Sleeping Beauty Trail, where one can see Mt Adams, Mt Hood, Mt St Helens and Mt Rainier? Then a nap on the descent? Hiking doesn't get any better than this, kiddo.
seattlerachel:
Dessert first: huckleberry shake from the nearby diner while the grill heats up.
seattlerachel:
Mt. Hood from Sleeping Beauty.
seattlerachel:
And another Mt. Adams. This time from Sleeping Beauty. Not yet pictured: Mounts Shasta, Rainier, St Helens, all from this one trail. But for now, sleep is calling.
seattlerachel:
Bridge of the Gods, with a little man-made assistance.
seattlerachel:
The Columbia from the Bridge of the Gods' base. Happy Friday, everyone.
seattlerachel:
Now on the waterfall loop.
seattlerachel:
Hello, Portland.
seattlerachel:
The unphotogenic Reggie with Pine State Biscuits' delicious fries. Ooh, that gravy is tasty.
seattlerachel:
One more from this morning: Labor Day Weekend rummage sale in Trout Lake. Serious community-wide participation here.
seattlerachel:
Portland has some doughnuts, alright. I revisited the Blueberry Basil Bourbon I tried in April but am looking forward to Brandied Cherry in the morning. And maybe a bite of tibadoh's Blackberry Compote with PB powdered sugar.
