Hood River

My sister and I went away for the night (my first away from Allie, sniffle) and we had such a good time. She helped me get my mind off of missing Allie, until I saw a one year old in the movie we were watching and burst into tears. :) Granted it was an emotional movie but still. :) Here are a few shots from our trip.


We stopped off at the View Point Inn because my sister is obsessed with Twilight and has never been there. Again the view takes my breath away. We then took the scenic way to Hood River and it made us glad to be Oregonians.

We got to the hotel and we found out it was built in 1911. It was such a cool place with crown molding, hardwood floors and this funky old elevator. Heather LOVED this thing. Look how excited she is to be riding in it.

We had a great view of the main street (although we hope to get a view of the river next time) and the next morning we ate breakfast outside and we walked to all the shops.

The next day we went to some of the many orchards surrounding Hood River to pick our very own fruit. We started with pears, then moved onto apples. I love orchards, they are just so peaceful. I so want to live in Hood River.



These apples were the size of my head! Well maybe a little smaller. :)




Then one of the orchards was having a bbq so we had some pulled pork sandwiches. and then moved onto ice cream!

Thanks Heather for such a fun trip! I am so glad to have my sister for my best friend. Even though I missed my baby bad I still had a lot of fun pigging out and picking fruit with you!
