Saturday, June 16, 2001 - Dotti & Al spend the day with Barbara (librarylady) in Vancouver, WA

---

Yesterday, Barbara, (Librarylady) spent the afternoon and evening with us and we had a lot of fun! Dot and I did not make it to bed until after midnight.

We had planned to take Barb up to Multnomah Falls, so we could all take the hike to the top of the falls. Unfortunately, there were no parking places available in either of the parking lots. There was some sort of celebration going on at the falls, and it was jammed. So, we drove up the Columbia Gorge Highway and took in some of the scenery. We stopped at Crown point which overlooks the Columbia Gorge.

We then drove down by the Columbia River, and past several falls, including Multnomah Falls, even though we were unable to stop there. We did stop at the Horse Tail Falls, named for its resemblance, from certain angles, to a horse’s tail in a breeze.

After our scenic drive we headed for Trader Joes, to pick up a few treats for Barb to take back home with her. We next stopped by QFC to get a few other items before heading home. It had been days since Barb had been online so naturally she and Dot ended up on the Internet.

I even played a few songs on the guitar, and we all sat and visited. Dot and I really enjoyed the time we had with Barb!

                      

These photos were taken at the Columbia River Gorge - isn't it beautiful there?  After our sight-seeing trip we came back to our house and Barb checked in with DWLZ while I "cooked" us up some Heaven's Bistro Pizza - see, I CAN cook!  We had a couple kahula's and then chatted away the night! The far right photo is the DWLZ "Command Central" - along with my Tweety collection!
