Memorial Day Weekend 2010

Hello and welcome back to the dynamic duo's blog. This year for the Memorial Day weekend Chrissy headed back home to MN for a wedding, bridal shower and wedding planning. I on the other hand had to stay here and hold down the fort. If you remember last year at this time we went camping at the Gorge in George WA. (See Memorial Day Weekend Part 1) This year we decided to continue the tradition and return to the promise land that is the desert of Washington.

This year was not nearly as hot (70's vs. 95+). Although what it lacked in heat it made up for in Wind. Crazy wind. I guess that's why it's a great location for a giant wind farm.

We did lots of rock climbing and hiking while we were there. Unfortunately it was not nearly warm enough to take a swim in the frigid waters of the columbia river. We did however have a good group of people go including Milo, the family dog (technically he's Chirag's dog, but he's pretty much all of ours). Although his given name is Milo, his birth name is really Falcor (Never ending story reference)

It was a great weekend and something we plan to do again every year. Traditions are the key to fun! Enjoy this video recap!
