..we discovered it this past rainy Saturday, when we were feeling really cooped up. We took Rachel on a tour and promptly signed up for a yearlong membership. Drew says it will be a great place to take her on Fridays when the weather is cruddy and he's trying to think of things to do with her.
On Sunday, I took Rachel for a hike through Tryon Creek State Park, a wonderful sanctuary in the middle of the suburbs. I have been avoiding taking her out in bad weather, but we had a great time even though it rained -- rather, hailed! -- in the middle of our hike! (she was asleep most of the time and didn't seem to mind). As the breeze wove through the pines, I felt as if we were up in the mountains instead of in Lake Oswego.
I am now eagerly anticipating summer, when we can strap TLG (The Little Girl) on our backs and take her hiking EVERYWHERE -- the mountains, the Coast, even up to Seattle! And now that it's staying light longer, I plan to take her on walks through the neighborhood when I get home from work and Drew is up North. I see many gelato runs (to Mio Gelato, a great dessert option within walking distance of our house) in our future.
