This was our third trip with Global Travel tthis year and wow are there some pretty places in the world! We went to the Whispering Woods resort at the base of Mt. Hood and stayed in this great 2 bedroom condo. One day we went to see the scenic route and saw five beautiful waterfalls. Most were easy access but the last one we tried to climb I let Jeff and Dan go ahead and later found out it was several trails that would have been an all day climb.
These were just massive waterfalls. They were all so grand.
On Sunday they had a Saturday Market with a Bite of Oregon going on. The market is a swap mee/flea market and the Bite was with vendors charging admission for the Special Olympics. The fee let you in a fenced in area and there were demos on food, cooking and people playing music. There was also a mountain man talking about the expeditions of Lewis and Clark. But the best part was the Wii Resort. We understood they are doing these all over the country. It is an area where the company sets up TV's and Wii games and you can play for free. That is where the leigh came from. He looks pretty good, huh?!
We also heard about this trout farm where you go and fish in different ponds, depending on the size of trout you want to catch. Of course Dan had to try it at the biggest pond to beat Jeff with this years fishing tournament. 17" and 2 pounds. It tasted mighty fine. Of course the fee is per inch and that cost Dan $15, he said it was worth it!
The scenery is so beautiful in the area that you just can't help but feel romantic. Ahhh!!! Next vacation area is in Florida in January. Come for a visit where it will be warm, I hope. Panama City then onto Ruskin. I love to travel!!!!

I don't love the act of traveling, but I do like the destination once I get there.
So can you fit one stressed mom and three kids in you bag. You know southwest doesn't charge for extra luggage. :)
