Heather and I took off on Friday for a short get-away, to celebrate our 10th wedding anniversary. It sure doesn't seem like 10 years already, since it's gone by so quickly, but considering everything that's been packed into those years, we've certainly got a lot to show for it.
We started by going to downtown Portland to walk around and visit the sites. An appetizer lunch at Henry's Tavern was very good and filling. Then, we browsed through Powell's Bookstore and picked up a few good reads (Heather got an old copy of "Little Women"). We finished at Cacao where we each tried a shot of "liquid chocolate". Our next stop was the Skamania Lodge.
We arrived at the lodge in just enough daylight to walk outside for a bit, before heading into the great room to relax next to the fireplace and huge picture windows. Afterwards, we dressed up and went to dinner in the Cascade Dining Room, where the waiter gave us a free dessert for our anniversary. We did some more relaxing in the hot tubs outside, followed by a brief stay in the sauna. We finished the night looking at some old photos from 2006.
