Looking east

West and I-84 below

The Columbia River Gorge.... and I-84

Of course we got there at 4:30 and it closed at 4. I can’t even remember the name of the place (and I’m only writing this one day after!)

This link will help me remember the details.

Latourell Falls

First Falls we came to headed east from Crown Point

Jim walked down to the base of the falls

We continuedn on and we stopped at bridal vale falls but I didn’t feel up to the short hike. \240I was worried about the walk to the big falls. \240It was a really pretty drive with houses in pretty cool spots... not that I would want to live on a road that would be so busy in the summer!

I didn’t have to worry about the walk! Jim being Jim practically drove up to the front door.... a short walk under the interstate (that was a first for him... may have been for me too... I’m not sure. Then under the train tracks

And a short hop though the gift shop and on to...

Wow

Jim asked me if I wanted to walk up to the bridge... I laughed and sat my fat ass down on the bench! \240I wish I could do things like that with him.

While he was walking up and down I was taking pictures for groups of people... that was fun... but don’t tell anyone I said that... I’m the one who doesn’t like people remember!

After taking 6 different groups shots it took him taking this picture and ya taking a selfie befor anyone offered to take our photo! \240But a lady finally did. \240

Holy cow I need a new bra

My capris got big over the summer!!!

He makes me smile

She missed it but I stuck my tongue out at him... LOL!

Sadly I look at these photos and I don’t think “wow those pants were tight at the beginning of the summer or that shirt didn’t fit last fall. \240I think... well you done did it... you turned into that little old lady that you never ever wanted to be! Fat, huge boobs hanging way to low, limping around, waddling around, sweating on a cool day, out of breath, cane using, poor old lady. \240I am on a mission to not be that lady anymore... but that is not what this storie is about. \240Just some stuff going thru my head. \240We had a great time... got to see a couple on their wedding day, a young girl in her 15th or is it the 16th that some cultures celebrate with fancy dresses and big parties? \240Anyway got a chance to practice being nice to people (yeah. It’s been a while so I need to practice) see some really cute dogs, see some amazing sites and I got new shoes!!! \240But the best part of all was doing it all with my Jim...
