After a lazy Saturday morning, off we went headed for The Dalles and Maryhill museum. Our first stop was Starvation Creek which was named after two trains were snowed-in the winter of 1884. No one starved, but the name lasted just the same.
We stopped there for the waterfall and to have a picnic lunch.
Then on down the road to The Dalles. It has become one of our favorite spots. After checking into the hotel, we swam at the pool, watched a movie, and generally relaxed. It was nice to just be away.
The next morning it was off to Maryhill. We had been there before but returned to see the new Ansel Adams display. It was fabulous!! As we walked up to the museum, we looked out around us to enjoy the view. The day was...
.... BRIGHT
and WINDY
Outside at the museum are various sculptures. This one represents the fun of rolling in the grass.
This one is a flower. I don't think it was Paul's favorite.
Next on the agenda was a late lunch at the CharBurger in Cascade Locks. We finished the trip with a stop at the Fish Hatchery near Bonneville Dam. It is one of my most favorite spots. It is so peaceful!
Here is Mandy feeding the ducks ...
and Paul feeding the fish.
As you might expect, there were LOTS of fish!
We always enjoy seeing "Herman" the sturgeon!

Mandy snapped this picture of us relaxing.
Here is a lasting memory of the beautiful gardens there!
Next time, you'll have to come along :)
