Day 14 - Columbia River & Multnomah Falls

7/24/09 (Friday)

In the morning, we got up and cleaned the trailer and cat area. Then Tom tried to move to a corner spot but found it occupied. Then we waited some more time and find a corner spot near the back.

Tom detached the trailer from the truck and went to see the waterfall. We used the historical road and found the Vista House.

We could see the Columbia River stretch a long way. There was a gift shop in the 2nd floor and I bought 2 magnetic calendar with Mount Hood and Multnomah Falls picture. One Portland night magnetic and one poster of Multnomah Falls. We went to see the first falls name Laconda Falls which is only ¼ miles to walk, it look very tall, because we standed very close to it.

Then we went to Bridal Falls, which was 2/3 of the mile round trip.

The last falls was Multnomah Falls, which we could not find any parking.

Our son also refused furiously when we parked on the “authorized personnel only”. We only take few pictues and have to come back to our truck. We all were very hungry and we see a Safeway and went inside, Tom see a roll cost $2.99 for 12 ct, it was very crunch and tasty, next thing I saw they sell chinese food too, I want some, but Tom told me we should eat our roll instead. I wasn’t happy about it, but I found out the roll was very good too. We almost finished all the roll by the time we get back to the trailer. We all have lunch inside the trailer.

On the way to Vancouver WA across the river, we saw floating house on the Marine Dr. which was next to the Columbia River. Next thing we went to Vancouver Mall, WA which we had Thai Food in the Food Court. But Lawrence did not want any food, he wants to save mom money. But I bought it anyway ( it cost me $7.89 including 2 items Thai chili Chicken and Shrimp and small drink). On the way back on local road, we saw and went to Big-K, the T-shirt was 3 for $10. After that we went back to Safeway to buy some more rolls which we all like it very much. Then we went to Target to buy cat sand for the sandbox, a wall clock for the trailer, and underwear for Tom and Lawrence. By the time we came out the Target, it was already 9:40 p.m.. We went back to our trailer and have dinner for the night.
