Camping, white water rafting and Seattle :)
So… while I was away, we went camping near Hood River in Oregon. (Jane was SO excited to see her cousin Cash that she just couldn’t keep her hands off of him! It was so cute, and a little scary!) Then we went white water rafting in White Salmon WA. It was the first time I had been and it was a blast!
In the top picture you can see that the rafting guide tricked me and my sister and her husband into sitting on the front of the raft (I don’t know why I listened) And it was HORRIBLE! SO much water went up my nose. And you can see all the guys in the back laughing at us. jerks. Anyways, that was that!
Afterward we went up to Seattle to stay with my brother and his family. While we were there we went to Gas Works Park (top left) Then to see the troll that lives under the bridge (top right) the gum wall at Pikes Place (also shopped around but didn’t seem to take any photos) (middle left) Had a birthday party for me at my parents house (middle right… this was before we went to seattle…) And then Zach and I rented a canoe and went out on Lake Washington.
It was a fun trip!

I am going rafting with my hubby this weekend at White Salmon with Zollers. I will have to make sure that I sit in the back. It’s fun to see you up in my neck of the Seattle woods. I am glad that you had fun. It’s a bummer you didn’t get a shot of all of the great flowers at the market right now. They are gorgeous.
just a lurker here! but had to come out when i saw that you were in my neck of the woods. we just moved to the gorge and i see mt hood and go to white salmon all the time! how fun. i grew up in the seattle area (bothell) and have many memories of lake WA, pike place and all. never gone to see the troll tho! glad you enjoyed your trip.
We went through Zollers as well! Don’t let them tell you to sit on the front of the raft!!! Have fun!!! And yes, the flowers are amazing! We did get one picture but it’s on my moms camera
We did a hike by Mt. Hood too while we were there. I actually grew up in Vancouver WA. I love the northwest!!! I miss it!
