Travel Tuesday - Day 9: 14 States in 10 Days

Hi there, and welcome to another Travel Tuesday!!

We are up to Day 9 on our 14 States in 10 Days tour and making our way back into the Pacific Northwest!!

Come on Mama, let's get going!! It's a long ride from here to Oregon!

It was a beautiful morning, so Mama and I took a nice walkie in a beautiful rest area just inside the Washington border!

We found this cute little stream to walk along before getting back into the car and heading for Oregon!

After what seemed like 87 hours, we finally stopped for a snack and walk on the the beautiful Columbia River in Oregon

They call this "The Gorge" area of the Columbia River, because it is in this beautiful canyon!! We followed it all the way to Portland!

They had tons of Windy Energy Makers along the top of gorge...

Oregon sure is pretty!!

The have big mountains!!

Plus, we got to see some pawesome waterfalls!!!

It even looks like a horsetail, don't you think??

After we left the waterfall, we drove to the hotel...BUT
I wasn't quite ready to go to bed yet....

"Maybe we can go watch the sunset Mama??"

So Mama and I took a nice long walk and watched the sunset!

It was a beautiful end to a beautiful day!!

After our sunset walkie, Mama and I watched some television
and.....

Went to sleep early so we would be bright eyed and bushy tail for our ride HOME!!!

Join us next week as we head home on the final day our 
14 States in 10 Days tour!!!

They're Home!!!!

Happy Daddy Day!!!

Make sure to take time to play with your Daddy or someone else's Daddy today!!!

Flower Friday Flashback - Pink Flower Fridaty

Since Mama is out of the Office this week, we are posting this Flower Friday from August 1st, 2014

Happy Flower Friday! 

Can you believe it is August already??  That means that there are only a couple of more Flower Fridays left! 

 This week we are going to show you a few flowers in my (Dory) most favorite color....

PINK!!!

Here are some wild fuschia that we see on one of the trails we walk on!

Here is a close up shot of the light pink, don't they look like little helicopters???

Here we have a thistle flower!

I never knew they could be this pretty!! Usually Mama waits until they are all brown and thorny before she notices them!

and we saved the bestest for last....

WOW...now that is PINK!!!

This is our bougainvillea!! We are amazed that it grows so well here on the Northern California Coast where it only gets up to 70 degrees or so during the day....They usually grow in warmer climates!

Have a Happy Smiley Flower Friday!!
