Hood River Heaven




We went to Hood River this weekend. We went raspberry and apple picking on a great farm that even had an area where you could pet the animals. Then we parked the car at my sister's place and walked around town only to discover the "Hop Fest" (aka Brewfest) was going on. It had a "kid zone" and the band from our wedding was playing. Can you say heaven? Mark and I were in sheer bliss drinking really good beer, dancing with the kids, and looking out at the amazing views. About an hour in a torrential rain storm came and wakened us to reality that perhaps we should take Francie home for a nap (think the "god above" were worried we would stay there all night). This morning we went to a classic small town diner where Francie proceeded to tackle a normal sized breakfast plate (that girl can chow! wonder who she takes after?). Classy. She also discovered the male barbie at Jenny's place and instantly was attached...interesting....she only bangs the female barbies on the table, but now that she found a male barbie she treats it lovingly....hmmmm. Mark and I both got to go on runs along the creek with the crisp fall air keeping us cool...seriously, could it get better? The day ended perfectly with my sister and her husband and kids coming back into town and we were were able to have dinner with them before heading home. Thanks Jenny and Fritz for the idyllic weekend.
