What an adventure we had!!! Mom, Dad and I piled in Flash (our trusty VW Vanagon) and headed east... First stop...the Painted Hills, OR. They were really cool.. it was like somebody painted all the rocks with red and orange paint! We did a few fun hikes to check out all the rocks. My favorite one was in the Blue Basin. It was like a huge blue sand castle!
The next day we headed north, meandering our way through eastern, Oregon, taking our time exploring the back roads and enjoying the views. We saw lots of beautiful farms and animals along the way and had a great stop in a small town brew pub who served up a great IPA (according to my dad :).
First stop Saturday was Palousa Falls State Park. There was an huge water fall there and an amazing view of the snake river. We actually got to stand right above the water fall!!
Final Stop... The Gorge Ampitheatre in George, Washington for the Grateful Dead show! We met up with Uncle John and Aunt Jennifer before the show in the campgrounds (which was quite the seen!!) We even took a stroll down Shake down street :). Then it was show time... My mom and dad made me wear these huge pink headphones the whole show but I was still able to hear the sweet sounds of the Dead as they played into the night:)
It was super fun!! Can't wait until our next road trip :0)... maybe Mazie and Bruno will be able to come next time! Click here to see more pics from our trip!

Looks like a great trip - lovely scenery. And Sophia's orange skirt - I did not realize that she had skirts! Love, Grandad.
