oregon

we meandered through oregon after visiting seattle. first stop was portland to see douglas's friend scott who invited us over for dinner, took us to the many fountains of portland, lunch outside the local co-op, and the rose gardens. we then drove along the columbia river and gorge to mount hood where we discovered lavender fields and scenic farmland. then onto crater lake - the bluest lake i have ever seen - and even in july, it had some snow to play with!

noble took this photo of scott with us in the rose gardens

the gorge, columbia river (runs sort of parallel to washington border)

mahala picking lavender

crater lake created by a collapsed volcano

unexpected surprise to be playing in the snow
