Our son comes for a visit

Jerry came for 10 days, from August 6th to August 16th.  He overlapped 6 days of his stay with Tracy and Kreg. 

Mother and son posing in the Rose Garden in downtown Portland.

We went for a walk in Hoyt Arboretum.  Love the trees in the Northwest.

Enjoying the view with Tracy.

More neat trees.

Took him for a ride along the Columbia River.

Along a trail at Larch Mountain

Vista House overlook along the Columbia.  You can't quite make it out, but it was built in 1917.

At one of the falls along the Columbia.  This one, Latourell Falls, was in my post dated 7-29-10, but there was no one in it to give a   perception of  how tall it is (249').  Jerry had to check it out up close and personal.

A creek downstream from Bridal Falls.

Contemplating the world or thinking "I've got to go back to work in a couple of days?"

Mom takes his mind off that  dilemma and makes him laugh.

One 'big' happy family. Happy hour at McMenamins  at Rock Creek Tavern.
