Multnomah Falls

Today I took Tori and Melissa to Multnomah Falls. It was a little rainy (a very light drizzle) but we went ahead and did the hike to the top. The sign said it was only a mile but it felt much longer. My thighs still hurt. We made it to the top and I got the willies from being up that high and looking over the edge of the waterfall. Tori took a picture of the slug on the trail. It was nice though because the trip down was much faster. My legs felt like jell-o and I was a bit worried that they would give way and I would go tumbling down the side of the mountain. At one point, I was passing this guy coming the other direction and I was already at the edge of the trail, the side next to the drop down to death and he kept pushing me closer to the edge because the ass didn't want to duck under 1 measely branch! It's not like there were thorns or spiders or anything dangerous! I bought a 4 pictures of the falls in all 4 seasons for my downstairs bathroom. Then we went to the Vista House at Crown Point. They redid it and it looked nice. I got tons of pictures of the columbia river from different angles until I realized that I'm taking the same damn picture over and over and over again so i stopped and we went down to the gift shop. Nothing good there.

Then we went to Troutdale Shopping Outlet. Not too many stores but I got some new shirts at the Gap and Levi Outlet and snacks from Harry & David. And since Tori and Melissa boughts lots of stuff, we earned free truffles. I bought my usual Mint Chocolate malt balls and a bag of pink grapefruit gummies. So much for getting into shape!

Tomorrow is Tigard shopping day. First we'll hit Washington Square Mall then Bridgeport Village. Friday we're going to ride Max to downtown, meet Robin for lunch, then shop and hang out down there and ride Max back. Saturday is random shopping day where we'll go to random other places. Time for bed!
