This past weekend was pretty hot in the Portland Metro Area, so we took a few day trips to beat the heat. Saturday we packed up and met our friend Jeff and his daughter Hazel and traveled to the Oregon Coast. We stopped in Seaside to check out their kite shop and opted to go to Cannon Beach and try our luck there. At Cannon Beach we bought a cool kite for Addison to fly at the beach. However, to our dismay there was hardly any wind and we just couldn't keep the kite up. It was SO packed at the beach and it was also cloudy, but it was still a nice escape. We just sat on the sand and played.
Sunday we went to Multnomah Falls before the big crowd hit and took some photos of the falls. We considered taking the Historic Columbia River Highway back and stopping by Crown Point, but we decided there was little parking and it would probably be too difficult to stop. So, we went back to Gresham and took Highway 26 up to Timberline Lodge. It was about 10 degrees cooler up there, but still pretty hot. We got some great pics and Brian did an awesome set of shots that he put together on Photoshop to make a panorama, but it is too big of a file to post :(
We sure enjoyed out weekend and are glad to be back in the great state of Oregon, where we have now been back for 1 year!
