We made it to Nana and Grandpa Von's house around 3:00pm on the 4th of July. We saw some beautiful countryside in our five days going across the country but it was oh so good to arrive in Portland. We visited and took it easy for the rest of Sunday then Monday Grandpa and Nana took Chance fishing. Grandpa had already gotten Chance two fishing poles sized right for him so they were ready to go bright and early Monday, actually Chance was a little more bright and early than the rest of us but after a little waking up they were off. Together they caught two fish, Chance was reluctant at first but he got the first fish on his line he was ready for more. I think he's ready to go again anytime.
Today Nana and Grandpa Von let us drive the Lexus for a quick drive down Multnoma Falls Highway to Vista House and hiking near the waterfalls.
Vista House is an observatory along the highway affording a wonderful view up and down Columbia River Gorge. We walked all around it then inside and up the stairs to the upper observation deck.
It is a very pretty building, it was completed in 1918 and it shows in a good way. It is solid with beautiful Marble floors and little appointments here and there that make it a sight to see in itself. Then to be set among these wonderful views, Vista House is a great place to stop and have a look around.
