Our Summer Adventures in Washington State!

Ben and I decided that we would take one big road trip this summer and go see his family in Washington. I have never drove for so long at once! But it was fun to see the country. We finally made it there after two days of driving. Our first stop was beautiful Hood River, Oregon (about 45 min. from Bens moms)

That weekend we also went to the Portland Saturday Market. It was pretty neat.  There were so many people and booths it was crazy! We went with beautiful Julia and Thalia. So fun!

Climbing Mt. Adams

While we were visiting Ben's family, we thought it would be fun to climb Mt. Adams.  It is over 12,000 feet and is covered by snow year round.  

We found our cool ski poles at good will for $3.00 each at goodwill.

Emily headed back down, with Mt. Hood in the distance.

Other fun things on our trip

Ever since Emily saw VooDoo Doughnut on the travel channel she has wanted to go there. The doughnuts weren't that good, but they had style.  

This voodoo doughnut man was being skewered by a pretzel stick.
