Our morning got off to a rough start thanks to the Southwest computer issues. Multiple flights were being cancelled and we didn't have a 2nd pilot because he had been scheduled to arrive in SD on what was now a cancelled flight.
After an hour and a half delay, we finally took off. Others weren't so lucky. Leslie and Darian's flight was cancelled out of Ontario. Leslie was able to get on a standby flight with Reanna and Zoey, but Darian and the big sister never made it out due to cancellations. Big bummer!
We arrived in Portland around lunch time so stopped at Cascade Station so everyone could get their lunch of choice. Matt and I tried Wow Burger which was actually pretty good.
Then it was off to Multnomah Falls along the Columbia River. It was a warm day and super crowded…so different from the time the girls and I visited last year.
We hiked up to the bridge for photos
and then a little further for some views of the river.
We split this gigantic homemade ice cream sandwich before leaving.
Off to the fish hatchery to see thousands of rainbow trout at different stages of life.
The fish are really neat to see, but I just love the grounds and buildings that surround the tanks.
A giant White Sturgeon!
Then it was time to make our way to Lake Oswego for team checkin and hotel checkin. We had dinner at Pizzacato with Leslie, Carolin, Kelly and the girls before calling it a night.
