More pictures from the trip!
We stayed in a quaint B&B on Friday night. The room was the African Queen and had a balcony with a table and chairs where we sat and just enjoyed the mountain scenery for a large chunk of the evening.
The next morning we woke up to a wonderful breakfast of Salmon Quiche with fresh Salmon from Alaska, that the proprietors husband caught himself, cheses, meats, pastries, muffins, fruit, yogurt, granola - I could go on and on. Jeremy and I both agree that the best part of staying in a B&B is the variety of food for breakfasts. And this one was our favorite so far.
Then on to rafting...
I'm all suited up!
Into the raft and onto the river.
"Take one of me."
Amazing scenery... this was really tall, but I guess you can't tell.
I was the first to jump off the bridge, Jeremy was adamant that I go first so as not to chicken out after he had already jumped... endearing isn't it? Yes, that tiny speck screaming on the way down is me.
The falls we weren't allowed to raft over, since the water was running too high. Maybe next time.
We made it!
Then we made a quick trip to Stonehenge. Did you realize its in Washington? Well a replica at least. A man built a WWI Memorial, the first in the country, that looks like Stonehenge. It's actually very impressive. While I wouldn't make a special trip just to see the memorial, only because it is in the middle of NOWHERE, I would reccommend stopping if you are driving the Washington side to Portland, etc.
The trip up there was filled with chatter about how we hoped our little weekend trip wouldn't end up like Bill and Alicia's- and we weren't disappointed. We had a great time!!

You brave soul! I'm so impressed. Looks like you had a great time with lots of adventure, awesome scenery, and some good looking head gear! Glad you had fun!
You are such a dare devil! I don't think I could jump. Looks like a really great trip, and I'm so glad that it didn't turn out like poor Bill and Alicia's.
Awesome! That's so cool that you jumped off a bridge...lol! You'll have to make this a yearly trip! :D
Heather, this looks AMAZING!!! Where were you?
It looks like you had a lot of fun...was this for your b-day or just for fun? Bryan and I have YET to do anything like this...AMybe sometime this year I will surprise him with something...Although we are spending a whole week in Canada for his famliy reunion...so maybe not this year! Glad you had fun
Kris thanks for pointing out the awesome head gear.
Tharker, daredevil.... I don't know.
Randi it was in Husum, WA (across from Hood River, OR) on the White Salmon River.
Eliza surprizing Brian would be fun I'm sure there is tons of stuff in Colorado you could do!!
And it took us 5 years to start rafting again... so don't feel bad if it doesn't happen till next year.
You're a stud. Looks like a ton of fun. I'm glad it worked out so well.
o this looks like so much fun! glad u had a good time and i just read alicia's getaway...thats hilarious. poor them!
Thanks for your extremely nice comments on my blog and well, both places! You're awesome.
Heather, you guys are crazy, but in a good way. With all of the times I've gone to Portland, I've never been to Maryhill or the Stonehenge structure. It looks cools. You guys seem to have a blast together, those who play together stay together (or something like that)!
I love that you took an action-packed vacation! It really is inspiring.
How fun! Sounds like an awesome vacation. It's so beautiful there, I'd love to get up to the NW again. I've almost forgotten what real trees look like...
