The Hood River Venture

IMG_3440

Hood River Valley is famous for its vast orchard land. We went out hoping to drive the Fruit Loop (the scenic drive among the flowering trees), but when we finally had a free day, we were too late. But the valley was still very pretty and we had fun hanging out in Panorama Point Park. Ruth relaxed, Magnus ran around, Dana looked for bugs (and found a pseudoscorpion, cool). (Magnus took this picture of Dana)

We met up with our friend Brian, who works in Hood River, for dinner. In town, we found this neat fountain. Magnus liked the bronze fish in the fountain.

We also walked around the Columbia River Hotel’s gardens. This is Wah Gwin Gwin Falls:
