The Bus at Mt. Hood (thinking back)

As B and I start the process of traveling and exploring the Northwest more, I am reminded of past trips that are so dear. This particular trip comes to mind and since Laura has such beautiful photos, I will share a story here.

I am profoundly lucky to be surrounded by such inspiring people and equally to be able to call them friends. This trip was a short getaway up to The Bus in Hood River with Laura and Amos. It is such a nice place to escape, just an hour from the city you are free. No electricity. No running water. Just the old bus on the side of hill facing a mountain. We had laughter and tears(Henry 10months at the time) and ideas shared about travel and living simply. Blake played us music and we made a fire in the old wood stove. Laura and Amos shot this video of B there the next day:

This was the beginning of so many more adventures. Here is little H not letting me(or anyone) sleep late on the bus. Image

A Past Adventure

Here is a photo story about a dinner and camping adventure to the coast at Cape Lookout State Park when little Henry was only eight months old. Lucky for us we were able to stay in the cozy vintage trailer for the night instead of camping in the rain like the rest of the folk. One of my favorite memories of the Northwest so far. Thanks to Laura Dart and Kinfolk for the beautiful night and dinner.

Days 7&8: SLC & to Portland

Woke up to the neighbors chickens before dawn and feel back to sleep glad to be in a house and a bed. Really woke and headed to breakfast at Big Ed’s by the U. Interesting pub where the special apparently is a burger with a fried egg on it and if you really want to go for it add some chili. We then headed over to a couple of bookstores downtown…..had fun browsing and checking out the town. I meet up with Anna and Kim in the afternoon and enjoyed some JAMBA JUICE. Man I love that stuff! We then headed over to the radio station where Anna works.(KRCL) Pretty cool place. And then to this store called Black Chandelier (www.blackchandelier.biz/). Really unique stuff. Later we ate at The Pie (www.thepie.com). Seriously you guys have no idea —-seriously. All pizza for the rest of my life will be judged against the Pie. Went back to their place and hung out –had some laughs and crashed, meanwhile Blake spent the night with Tuck.

Next morning EARLY start. Blake took the first shift this morning—I slept through most of Idaho(not much to miss in southern Idaho anyway). We hit a bad accident outside Boise and had to use Maggie to find a back way–still lost an hour in time. Long drive and nothing much to speak of until we hit the Columbia river and followed it all the way to Portland. The river and the road wound it’s way through the mountains and then we saw Mt. Hood and knew we where almost there. This place is just too wonderful. We saw lots of wind surfers and kite boarders…looks like a blast, but hard core. Arrived at Jason’s around six and let ourselves in(Jason and Jenn are taking dance lessons). The family got home–holy crap is Sol grown. Jenn cooked us some tasty dinner and we chatted it up. We are welcoming the huge guest bed…..mmmm sleep.
