You scored as Mary Read. You are very unconventional, you defy the rules as often as you can and like to take as many risks as possible. You will probably end up living happily under a bridge somewhere laughing at all the unsavory deeds you once instigated.

Summer Vacation 2006 Day 1

My family arrived late on Saturday, and on Sunday we had plans to go to Mount St. Helens. Rick decided that he was close enough to the active volcano at home thank you very much, so he and Lobo decided to just take it easy and spend some quality alone time before we headed out to the coast.
Mal and I had a great time taking pictures, many of which can be found on my flickr page in my Mount St. Helens group. I particularly liked the ones seen here, though as I've been told the one is just a picture of a window. I also got some pictures of a dragonfly or two at the wetland areas that are around the Mount St. Helens Silver Lake Visitor Center. These wetlands were created when the eruption pushed ground water up to the surface. It's all very beautiful. We took a bunch of pictures at the Johnston Ridge Observatory which is just 5 miles from the mountain. The before and after pictures of the area are just amazing, but even more so is all the life that is making its way back to the area. I'm glad I went, and I'll try my best to get Rick to go with me next time I go. However, even though they are opening the actual mountain up for climbing at the end of this month, I think I'll refrain from getting that close...It's a principle thing.

Back from vacation and want to put up some write ups and photos. Mal will be updating his blog soon too. In the mean time, here are some pictures of what I did on the last day of my vacation. A Spa Pedicure and a Henna Tattoo.

Sunday of Futility

Sunday we got up early (for us) and headed up to Multnomah Falls
Since I was driving, I decided we should take the scenic route up there on the Historic Columbia River Highway. It's a winding 35 MPH road that runs above the current Interstate 84 and the Columbia River. It's a beautiful trip with lots of scenic overlooks and state parks. Our first stop was Chanticleer Point aka The Portland Women's Forum State Scenic Viewpoint.

We stopped again at Vista House, and took some more pictures. We didn't actually take any pictures of Vista House, but you can find some nice ones at their site.

We never made it to Multnomah Falls, because there were WAY to many people and no parking. We'll try again when it isn't a holiday weekend, and perhaps later in the year. Our last stop on the way home down I-84 was Broughton's Point Scenic Overlook.
