an impromptu holiday
After a series of ridiculous event on Sunday, Ben (brother-in-law), Lindee (sister), James (husband), and I were sitting around-trying to figure out something to do on a very rainy easter when it dawned us-drive as fast as you can to Hood River and don't look back!
This was the perfect solution to our nothing to do dilema-lucky for us Ben and Lindee (oh-and their dog, Foster) live in a cozy home with a jaw dropping view of Mount Adams. And of course-this was the first time in many, many months that both James and I were free! As much as I absolutely adore Portland, I really do love "the country" where even a simple trip to a Dairy Queen to share some disgusting soft serve can seem fun.
And now I present a photo journal of some of this weekend's events:
Chez Lewit (or Ben+Lindee's place):
a lovely but oh-so-tiny portrait of Ben's grandfather propped up on the mantle
the most wonderful rocking chairs
interesting textures, and who doesn't love stripes?
Ben's sports equipment
a shed masquerading as a barn

Hope you all had a lovely weekend!
More Hood River photos tomorrow!
I love the rocking chairs!
Glad you had a good weekend, even if it was rainy :)

oooo, I love it when I stumble upon a fellow Portlander! Especially one who loves a weekend trip to one of my favorite spots. Looks like a lovely time.
