Day one


Multnomah Falls
This was the first day of our 10 day vacation. Caden was just so excited to get out the door and go to Oregon. He loves to travel. About 45 min into the trip, I believe we weren’t even to Caldwell, he asked if we were there yet. Scott told him we had a ways to go still and he said, “Oh, I’m never planning a trip again”. We got to Cascade locks at about midnight. All three kids had finally fallen asleep, but only about an hour before that. They just wouldn’t give up!!!! They were so excited to be at the hotel. We were right by the bride to the Gods and the train and Sarah just thought that was awesome. We woke up the next morning, had breakfast and drove to M falls. We thought that we would hike up to the bridge and see the falls and come back down, but Caden and Sarah did not want to stop. Those little hikers just kept going up and up. Scott has made the trip past the falls to the coast many times and he always looks for the road that leads to crown point (it is a lookout that overlooks the whole gorge area). We found the way so Scott was so excited about that. The kids just thought it was fun to put the quarters in the binoculars and look out at the river. After all our stops, we headed for the coast. We ran into traffic problems on the way, but we finally made it Fri. night. The condo was great!!! We went down to show the kids the ocean. It was a super cold and even a little rainy but that did not stop Caden and Hannah from trying to run in.
