Rob and I went on a little excursion today. Kind of like old people, we took a Sunday drive! I'm really only joking. We actually had a romantic day, just the two of us...hanging out, exploring new places, and having a picnic in the park for two.
We decided for our outing we would head towards Pendleton. Rob had never been there, and it had been years and years since I had. There is a place Rob had seen around Wallula, a basalt rock formation he wanted to explore called Twin Sisters, so we headed there first...where this picture of the Columbia River was taken. It was hot out there today, but absolutely beautiful. We climbed up a small trail, and this was the awesome view we enjoyed!
We got back in the car and headed south into Oregon along the river, which was a very pretty drive. It may sound funny, but I don't think I had ever crossed into Oregon without crossing a bridge. It was a busy day on the water, with lots of folks trying to cool off and enjoy the river's banks. We headed into Pendleton, and thanks to my trusty iPhone, we were able to find a cute little park right next to the infamous Round-Up. We spread out a blanket, pulled out all of the food I packed, kicked off our shoes and enjoyed a lovely little lunch in the park.
After we packed back up again, we just took some time to explore Pendleton. It's a cute little town, but unfortunately they must roll up the sidewalks on Sundays! We did a little walking around their historic downtown area, as well as the River Parkway. We really liked it there, and hope to go back again...this time on a Saturday!
