ON THE ROAD TO HOME

Steve and I agree... we live in a beautiful part of the country. The Pacific Northwest is incredible. And after being gone for the last six weeks, we have a new appreciation for just how special this spot is ♡

As we made our final trek home, we passed through Madras & Warm Springs, drove up and over Mt Hood, down through Hood River, across the Bridge of the Gods (connects Oregon & Washington), and finally on to Highway 14 and back down Washougal River Road to our house. Gorgeous scenery and rockin' tunes!

Heading down into Warm Springs Reservation

Driving up on Mt Hood... still has snow! And some was fresh!

 The drive down 

from Mt Hood Meadows Ski area to Hood River

 Passing through Parkdale area- heading down to Hood River

 Approaching Hood River

At this point we are just about 45 minutes from the house...

 Beginning our drive along the Columbia River Gorge

 Crossing Bridge of the Gods... welcome back to Washington!

 Bonneville Dam

 And here, less than a mile from our home. 

A country road with no streetlights, 

just the moon and soon to be starry night filled sky.

 And of course, my phone died at this point, just as I was about to shoot a picture of Steve driving down our road.
