Oh Yeah.. and while we were in Portland Steve flew to LA for work and after dropping him off at the airport we just headed East toward the Colombia Gorge, the highway follows the river and we stopped all along the way to play in the creeks and see the waterfalls. My boys are good to hike about 15 minutes, that is their limit assuming that the scenery is quite interesting, a few banana slugs are good, a wall to climb on or some logs, and creeks and rocks are a plus. After 15 minutes Luc wants to be carried and is will to whine without ceasing and Reese will join in for good measure. So we take lots of short walks and try to look for creeks and rivers they can walk in, building dams is a big hit and of course looking for critters and throwing rocks.
We drove all the way to Hood River (which i heard was a very cool little community, actually i met some folks at Burning Man from Hood River who gave me there contact info but i lost it on the playa along with my video camera i might add) and I wish i could say we drove the whole town, soaked up some local culture and met some folks who invited us to dinner and to play with their 3 sons.. but we just cruised the town a bit, spent 90 minutes getting our RV oil changed and serviced, went bowling and drove right out of town! We crossed the gorge and drove home on the Washington side and got to stop and soak at Carson Hot Springs on the way home.

Oooh, look at Reese's big gap-toothed smile. And, my god, Luc is getting grown up looking!
