if only for a day


'Twas a visit only for a night and a day and a night. It was so quick, but so worth it. My dear friend Annie, her two boys, and her dad (from Belize) were driving through on this amazing family road trip that started in Calgary, Alberta (where they had flown in from Belize to visit Annie's cousin, Margaret, who happens to be my cousin's wife!). They arrived late Monday night, we grabbed a bite to eat together before heading off to bed. We woke the next morning for a trip out to the beautiful Columbia River Gorge; a Must See, especially in the summer months. But because we got a later start heading out to the gorge, we missed the opportunity to hike into one of my all time favorite gorges: Oneonta (next time, Annie. I promise, it's totally worth it!). So instead we hiked Bridal Veil Falls and drove over to Multnomah Falls as well. All this before heading over to my brother's place to meet up with the cousins who were also along on the family road trip and in town for the day. We enjoyed a tasty BBQ there and more good times together. If only for a day. . . it will be a day well spent.
