Multnomah Falls and more!

Monday we drove out to Hood River.
The Columbia River highway scenic drive is beautiful and full of water falls. We stopped at multnomah and a couple others on the way.

Wakeenah Falls





Tuesday we went to The Grotto, a catholic sanctuary right in the middle of the city.







We also visited Vancouver fort which turned out not to be so much a fort as it was a giant department store at the end of the Oregon Trail. They traded with the Indians and decided they needed protection from settlers who ran out of supplies. But pretty cool anyway.

Up in the Bastion. All the cannons were pointed inside the fort.....Hmmm......
