It seems like just yesterday we were in sunny southern Louisiana preparing to get married. We were blessed with a beautiful day in which to celebrate our first anniversary also. This day, we visited some of our old favorite places and discovered new ones. The first two stops were to get my nails and hair done (two of my personal favorites to visit!) After finally heading out, we stopped at Dawson Creek Park for a few pictures and a short walk in the park.
We never tire of seeing Mt. Hood and on a sunny, clear day, there is nothing more beautiful than a majestic mountain as we drive along.
One more...
Don't miss the turn! We are heading up the Historic Columbia River Highway to make our way to dinner at The View Point Inn.
We stopped in this interesting little store called the Corbett Country Market. There was so much to see in there as we looked for a bottle of water and some snacks! At the meat counter, there was a deer head hung on the wall and a rooster on the top of the meat case. (I'm not sure if it was real at one time but I wasn't going to touch it to find out!)
I loved that there was a porch on the front of the store. I could just picture old friends sitting there shooting the breeze and watching the cars go by!
Next stop was the Portland Women's Forum Viewpoint. It was very windy but the view was breathtaking. You could see the Vista House and the View Point Inn in the distance.
We had to hold on tight to take this picture. The winds were so strong that it would take your breath away!
As we wound our way along the highway carved into the side of the mountain, we came across the most amazing sight. It was like we were transported back in time!
We got there right after they closed. We'll have to plan a little better next time! Follow this link for a funny news report that happened recently at the Vista House.
Our next stop was Latourell Falls. I was very glad I had flat shoes to wear before dinner because the path up to the second viewpoint was quite steep. We need to plan a trip back here soon so we can hike around the falls. The area was just beautiful!
We ran out of time to travel on to Multnomah Falls but there is lots more to show you from our Fairy Tale 1st Anniversary Day. Stay tuned for part two!

Next stop is the Vista House where the winds were the strongest I have felt in a while. The Gorge is known for high winds but you forget what that feels like until you are in them. But it was sunny- how could you complain?!
