Hood River
Spent last weekend in Hood River for my friend John’s wedding. We had only been to Hood River once briefly last year on the way back from Bend. This time we got to spend two days there. We stayed at very nice B&B just outside of Hood River called Sakura Ridge. It is a working cherry and pear orchard with a lodge in the middle. Our room had a great view of Mt. Hood and breakfast included fresh picked strawberries every morning. On Saturday morning we mountain biked along the Deschutues River. Then had a quick pint and bite at the Full Sail Brewery before cleaning up and heading to the wedding. The wedding was at another B&B farther up the Hood River valley. The wedding was lots of fun. We met some fellow Seattleites, Purdue grads, and drank some good homebrew. The night started a bit cloudy up cleared up around sunset which gave us a this great picture of Mt. Hood. On Sunday explored downtown Hood River and watched the Wind/Kite Surfers before heading home.
