Today we explored the waterfalls of Columbia Gorge. We drove the Historic Highway and stopped at every waterfall taking little hikes and lots of pictures. Except at Talkeena Falls where we hiked to the top of the ridge! At Multnomah we had a delicious lunch at the historic lodge with a fabulous view of the falls! Eventually we got on I-84 and headed east. Got to Baker City, Oregon.
A lovely way to spend a Sunday in Hampstead. We visited the historic Fenton House to view lots of lovely collectibles, to listen to and learn about harpsicords, and to tour and linger in the garden before heading off to the historic Spaniard’s Inn for a most delectable Sunday Roast.
A visit to the London Transport Museum in Covent Garden gave us insight into the evolution and role of public transportation in the creation of London as a great metropolitan area.
Bath, England is an amazingly inviting place with deep deep history. One little day trip isn’t anywhere near enough but we did enjoy delving into the history of the Roman Baths, basking in the beauty of Bath Abbey, and topping our visit off with Tea and Bath Buns!
Karen & Steve – glad to hear and see that you are having a great time on your journey! The Gorge has got to be one of my favorite places I’ve ever visited and the historic highway is so crazy cool, what with it’s like 20 something waterfalls all along the way (First time I ever rode down it was on a motorcycle, lots of good memories – know you guys will have some great ones too). Miss you guys:-)
PS. Little delayed on the news, but my sis had her 2nd baby boy on Sept 22 – Kenneth David Hulse, so adorable:)
Great pictures! The scenery looks pretty awsome.
