June 28th
Well the whole family flew in today. So we left Siletz, OR in the morning to meet everyone at the airport in Portland. We wanted to see what downtown Portland was like and to see if the show 'Portlandia' had portrayed hipsters and the town correctly. We weren't disappointed. Downtown Portland was quite interesting and I wish we could have spend more time exploring and dining there. We tried to go to Voodoo donuts but decided against it due to a 50ft line out the door in the middle of the afternoon!

After Portland we drove to Miltnomah Falls, the taller falls is over 500ft high! Miltnomah Falls is right next to the Columbia river just north of Mt. Hood.

After the falls we traveled past Mt. Hood National Park to Redmond, OR to stay the night.
