SunRiver, Oregon - Day One

How 'bout a few shots of our six-plus hour drive from home to SunRiver, Oregon? We decided we needed to take a bit of a scenic view and meandered along the Columbia River rather than stick to the interstate...

I couldn't resist snapping this little cutie!

the dark, smelly bathroom at Multnomah Falls
oh, and Lisa sitting on her sunglasses. oops.

The road trip format brings back memories. You know how to paint a day's picture, that's for sure. Love that!

Have a grand time!

Yes, the bathrooms at Multnomah Falls are old and can be smelly -- but I sure appreciate them being there!

I have been to other falls where the restrooms were locked or non-existent.
