Tuesday19 Trip to Oregeon







On Tuesday the 19 Pam, David and I flu to Portland and meet up with Brandon and had breakfast. Then he went back to bed has he works nights. We stared looking for water falls,covered bridges and light houses. The first Covered bridge was the Hannah bridge and is still in use today it was built in 1912 and in the summer months the bridge is a popular spot for swimmers who jump from the bridge into the deep pool beneath. We visited about 12 covered bridges. Next was Salmon falls which is a large fall that had people 18 people jumping from the cliff. The weather is beautiful and the temperature is about 70. The falls looks like it falls for about 300 feet. The water at the bottom is so clear & clean. We went to about 10 water fallls they are so big and prowerfull. On Tuesday night July 22 We stayed at this beautiful Inn over looking the ocean. It was nice and cool as we sleep with the door to the patio open we could hear the waves crashing against the shore. It was so nice and relaxing. We saw lots of beautiful country and then spent Sat. in Seattle and visited Pike Place Market, there were so many people there that you could hardly move. We then went up in the space needle. looked at the large city from every side and relly enjoyed it. Stayed for a big parade in down town Seattle. The next day Pam and David droped me at the ship and is was on my way to Alasha.

Grandma, so glad you updated your blog again, your travels are expanding and it's exciting to live through you vicariously. When we went to San Fran. it rained the whole time. Did you see the rainbows painted above the tunnels. I thought it was great. Oregeon is beautiful and Brandon is looking nice. LOL, have fun on your cruise.
