Septembers are always full of beauty up here and we took advantage of it this year. For Teresa’s birthday we headed to the coast (Seaside, OR) and then into the Columbia River Gorge for Labor Day.
There is a loop of farms & vineyards near Hood River that they call the “Fruit Loop”. We enjoyed the gorgeous views of Mount Hood with our good friends the Gneitings (from Idaho) & the Martins (from Alaska).
Teresa bought heaps of pears for a great price & proceeded to can them all the next week. Delicious! Later, she did the same thing with apples and then peaches. What a woman!
Oh, Dave and Josh – it’s the simple things, isn’t it?
The Gneitings daughter, Becca, got dirty playing with the car’s exhaust pipe.
These are some gorgeous views in the Gorge when I hiked up “Angel’s Rest”.
At the end of September, I was fortunate enough to still be out of school and drove down to California to pick up Teresa’s dad. He had ridden his bike in the Seattle to Portland bike race in July and got in his mind that he would come back to Portland and ride all the way down to California! So I picked him and his bike up near the Redwoods and got to see some of God’s beautiful creations.
Here are a couple nice views of the mouth of Klamath River in northern California.
This is the morning we sent Teresa’s dad off on his own for the next 1-2 weeks (he rode to the coast and then all the way down to Fortuna, CA).
