Road Trip - Sunday August 8th

Favourite things that have been said to me:

1. "Yes"
When I asked Kate to marry me.

2. "It's a boy"
When George was born. Actually I'd have been just as happy if it had been a girl but you know what I mean.

3. "For an extra twenty dollars would you like to upgrade to a convertible mustang sir?"

I love you Hertz car hire man and I always will.


My hire car. Seriously.

So in my subtle, understated 3.7L V6 convertible I headed out into rural Oregon. Most visitors do "the loop" which is a 150 mile route along the Columbia river gorge and then around mount hood park before finishing with a hike in the foothills of mount Hood.

Far too beautiful to describe but I've stuck a few iPhone photos in below. Enjoy.
