Three weeks ago, we observed our 34th anniversary. This weekend, we celebrate it. We're headed -- no, not to Chicago, despite the above photo -- but to Mt. Adams Lodge at the Flying L Ranch. It's roughly 90 miles east of Portland in the Columbia River Gorge on the Washington state side.
We'll arrive in the early afternoon and just hang out, with a little time set aside for hiking. We'll go into Hood River for dinner, then head back and settle in for the evening.
When we wake up Sunday, it will be Lori's birthday. So...there's the double celebration. We planned this weekend away several weeks ago. Given how crazy busy we've been of late, this will be a nice respite for us.
A word about the photo: It was taken at Wrigley Field on July 27, 2008. We saw the Cubs beat the Florida Marlins in a game that featured five home runs. We headed out to the game the same day we joined hundreds of others in a hotel ballroom, where we were part of the audience that saw Barack Obama, then a presidential candidate, interviewed on CNN.
That was quite a day. And this will be quite a weekend...
