Pendleton

Today was a long day on the road-took 6 hours to get here, plus time for a couple of stops for the dogs. The trip was beautiful until we got past the Columbia River Gorge. This photo is typical of the scenery along the gorge. When we left the gorge area we encountered large flat areas of farmland that looked pretty much the same for miles and miles.

We made it to Pendleton around 3:30 for a fun reunion with my brother and his family. Josh and Alex were delighted to help walk the dogs and the dogs were equally happy to see them. Monte and Brenda look great and we talked a blue streak. In fact, it was so much fun I totally forgot to take photos. Tomorrow, I promise photos--Gary said he'd help me remember to shut up long enough to get some family photos.
