It was a rainy and cloudy weekend. The Gorge is beautiful in every kind of weather. As we approached our destination, I did a bit of passenger seat photography.
Our destination? Skamania Lodge on the north (Washington) side of the Columbia River. It's got to be a special place if you must cross "The Bridge of the Gods" to get there! As you walk into the 3-story lobby of the lodge, you are greeted with this inviting fire. The stone fireplace is large enough to stand in!
One afternoon we took a hike on a rainforest trail. Those are some tall, mossy trees!
On Sunday we took a cruise down the highway to spend some time in Hood River, Oregon.
We wondered around the picturesque town, then had some lunch at the Crazy Pepper Cantina. This place does not disappoint. It's the second time we've dined here. On this trip, we had chicken fajitas.
The food is yummy and the service is spectacular. It left a smile on our faces!(It looks like he likes me, doesn't it!)
The vacation weekend was wonderful, and of course, too short. What a great Christmas gift! It left us wanting more, and simply loving each other.
