Quick Getaway, Part 3
Sunday morning, we slept in, got ready to go, grabbed a Starbucks, and began to trip back down the freeway towards home. About thirty miles down the road, we stopped at Multnomah Falls. If you’ve ever picked up some travel literature from our state, or even if you’ve just received a postcard from somebody here, chances are pretty good you’ve seen a picture of this place. And for good reason, too. Not only is it one of the most beautiful places in the state, but it’s proximity to the big city and easy access from the freeway make it a popular place for tourists. It’s just a couple hundred yards or so from the lower falls to the upper falls, so it makes for an easy hike as well.
We enjoyed a Sunday brunch in their historic lodge and then spent the rest of the morning at the falls. We snapped some pictures, which I’ve linked below, and then got back on to the freeway once again for the trip home. It was a quick three days, but we had a blast.
Next up on the agenda: Finish up this bathroom project (worth a blog series in and of itself) and get ready for our coast trip with the whole family in two weeks.
