Mom and Dad's LAST trip to Oregon

Mom and dad came out to Oregon to pick Mary up so she wouldn't have to endure the VERY long car ride across the country! They didn't stay long, and we spent most of the time trying to finish up the house, but we were able to do a little bit of sigh seeing!

We went up to Stonehendge- a replica of the REAL one, and a war memorial. It's a nice drive and very pretty!!
This is the Columbia Gorge- Where we spent the last 3 years...

Another view of the Columbia Gorge. You might notice that it's not very green like most people picture Oregon and Washington to be. That's because we lived in the dessert....A very hot, very dry dessert.... I didn't think I would miss that lack of green- but it was a different type of beauty...I'm glad I got to experience it!

Grandaddy let her wear his hat!

The last picture of our house.... Many, MANY happy times there...
