Last day of the trip before heading back to SF. We checked out of the hotel early and decided to go to the Columbia River Gorge before driving back to Seattle to fly out. According to Wikipedia, "the Columbia River Gorge is a canyon of the Columbia River in the Pacific Northwest of the United States. Up to 4,000 feet (1,200 m) deep, the canyon stretches for over 80 miles (130 km) as the river winds westward through the Cascade Range forming the boundary between the State of Washington to the north and Oregon to the south." Besides this description, I wouldn't know how to best describe it.
We took the Columbia River Gorge Scenic Byway and saw some of the most amazing area of open air. So refreshing! Although I must say that the pollen here was out of control. Even for someone like me who doesn't normally have allergies, I had a sore throat and runny nose.
Time flies when you're having fun and it was time for us to head back to Seattle for our flight back. As we drove along the I-205 back to I-5, the view of Mount Hood with the beautiful blue sky as the backdrop still remain so vividly in my mind today. Absolutely incredible.
I had a lot of fun on this trip. It turned out a lot better than what I had expected and hoped mainly because Sarah did great. I was very worried about all the logistics - her food, her naps, her schedule, etc. But she adapted very well to our schedule & everything turned out just fine. I am so proud of her! I know this sounds silly, but one thing that I am especially happy/proud of is Sarah's bowel movement schedule! Every morning before we go out for the day, we put her on the toilet (we brought her kiddie seat), she does her business...and then we are poop-free for the entire day!! It surely made the diaper changes in the middle of the day sooo easy!! Just love it!! thank you mao-mao, you are the BEST baby in town!!
