Mom and I can't help but to have fun in each other's company.
Sometimes that means getting sidetracked on a road trip.
Usually this manifests in a quick stop for a geocache at a scenic overlook.
This time we got a blast of gorgeous scenery -- and a piece of history.
The Maryhill Stonehenge monument, erected in 1929 as a memorial to local fallen World War I heroes, is nestled in the hills just off Highway 97 on the north side of the Columbia River not far from Biggs, Oregon.
Looking at some of the names and dates on the stones, I had a solemn moment.
Many of the boys were my age when they died.
But we did have a grand time looking at the scenery of the hillside.
We tried not to giggle too much as we scampered around to find a cache among the rocks.
Adventure takes us to the most remarkable spots -- places of learning and reverence and fun.
