December 2007-
Columbia River Gorge/Spokane. This trip was more than just a road trip. It was a fun, fun weekend getaway with my man to see the rock bands 'Tool' in Spokane, and then 'Seether' back in Portland the next night. 6 hours each way, baby!
I love living in Washington and traveling through the ever changing beautiful scenery. The days were crisp and clear and drifting through the low to mid 30 temps. This was during the recent floods here, and our whole journey was quite the experience.
I'm calling this our 'Visa Priceless Weekend:
- Mike having to leave vehicle and fly home from Seattle.
- Renting Toyota 4 Runner.
- Traveling the gorgeous Gorge with my man.
- Being with hotel guest of the day (yep, that's my man!)
- Forgetting favorite hairsprayy back home.
- Standing 45 minutes outside in frigid weather to see Tool.
- Seeing Maynard live. And, killer laser light show.
- Mike getting speeding ticket.(Shhh...it's a secret...hahaha)
- McDonalds french fries and Big & Tastey. Twice. YUM!
- Buying new rockin' sunglasses.
- 12 hours travel time...alone...with my man.
