The Move to Washington- First Entry


So we have been telling everyone that we are moving to Portland, OR, which technically isn't a lie. Ridgefield, WA is just a stone's through away from the Washington-Oregon state line. Now I won't dive into a lesson in geography here, but if you look at a map that puts us just 18 miles north of Portland. My territory for work has me going from Salem, OR up to Tacoma, WA and even East to Bend, OR. We are very excited and have been here at the new place 6 days. Today was the first day it rained. We went on a hike yesterday after Church and saw some spectactular waterfalls. The larger one is Multnomah Falls off the Columbia Gorge in Oregon. The smaller one Max (the dog) and I are standing on is Horsetail Falls. All in all we had a 5-6 mile hike. This area is really green and beautiful. The nights are cool and the days warm, but not excessivley hot like Texas. Enjoy the pics and I will be experimenting with the blog so things may be different next time on here. God Bless

Jon,
Hey - amazing pics! It's hard to go wrong when you have such amazing landscapes to work with.

;-)

I miss hearing your voice 'down the hall', but I know our loss was for the greater good!

Take care,
Danelle
