One napless Sunday, we decided to drive up the Gorge (in the hopes that both boys would fall asleep).

They didn't.

Thankfully, we found a lovely little spot just off the highway where we were able to hike a bit, exercise the dogs a lot and have a lovely little unplanned family adventure.

Vineyards

Raminta, TJ and Archer visited with a variety of her extended family for a few days in October while they stayed near some vineyards just outside of Portland.
