Springbreak Day trip around The Mountain!

This picture of Mt. Hood was taken on Saturday afternoon. We spent the day doing some spring cleaning and decided that we would head for the coast in the morning for a day trip. We woke up to rain:( Blahhh So we changed our plans to a drive up the gorge. Notice I used the word Drive we get to the waterfalls and Steven decides to pull over and hike up to the falls.Great hiking shoes huh!

A Mary Poppins moment!(it was raining hard)
I do have to say that the hike was worth it!




At this point the rain wasn't coming down hard, thank goodness it was just a mist




We stopped in Cascade Locks and got a bite to eat at CharBurger... we had a great view of the Columbia River


And the Bridge of The Gods






Next we drove through Hood River.. where the sun was actually shinning and I did NOT get a picture!What was I thinking..? Because just 15 minutes up around the other side of Mt. Hood we got into Snow.... again.. great snow shoes!








We got a few pictures then Steven decided to do cookies in the snow... if you have FB check out our video... it is posted on both of our FB.










After our venture through the snow.. as we got into Sandy it began to hail like crazy! It was the most hail that I have ever seen come down at a time! It then turned to snow for a bit then by the time we rounded our way home it was just back to drizzle.


Only in Crazy Oregon can you get a taste of every kind of weather in one day! What will the rest of our springbreak be like?
