With fall now firmly entrenched in the Pacific Northwest, I’m reminded of all the fabulous trips I enjoyed this summer. In May I was fortunate enough to tour The Dalles, Oregon, and the Columbia River Gorge area with The Dalles Area Chamber of Commerce.

Here are some of my fav pics from the trip, including a dramatic view of the Gorge from Rowena Crest, a Native American time ball at Columbia Gorge Discovery Center & Museum, the funky décor at Sunshine Mill Winery, 100-year-old vines at The Pines 1852 Vineyard and Winery and nibbling on high tea fare at the Anzac Tea Parlour. What a blast!
