Stonehenge

Seven things to do when you visit the Stonehenge replica on the gorge.

1. Gaze in awe and wonderment at the big stones
2. Experience extreme wind
4. Listen to the odd quiet of the whole valley below
5. Play hide & seek
6. Sit on rocks, touch rocks, attempt to lick rocks
7. Pee in the bushes (acceptable for toddlers only)

 

I'd never heard of this faux Stonehenge, but it made a great day trip and luckily Carrie has heard of everything worth hearing of.  It's about 90 minutes away, and it happened to be perfect weather.  Carrie and I discussed all the things that sound cheesy to say, but are actually true, like 'what a beautiful day' and 'this view is amazing' and 'I love seeing the world through a child's eyes'.

We stopped at an art museum after, which I'll post pictures of later because there were peacocks outside, then we stopped again in Hood River for ice cream, and then for dinner at the Edgefield.  There were thunderstorms that evening and as we drove into Troutdale, the rain was really strong and scary and the complete opposite of the clear afternoon.
