Saturday trip

You can see our distorted reflections in the background of the sign. Funny!



Saturday was our 3-month anniversary. We took a day trip toward Mt. St. Helens to a little town called Yacolt, Washington. It was a gorgeous day to ride the train. After riding the train, we drove a few miles away to a little town called Amboy, Washington and ate lunch at a quaint little pizza place.

This next picture is the Cedar Creek Grist Mill. It still grinds corn meal and flour. It was neat! This mill has been photographed for calendars and puzzles. There's a beautiful covered bridge that leads to it. There were a surprising amount of tourists at this place. It is in the middle of NOWHERE.

You can see more pics of the mill and the bridge in my album at the bottom of this post.



After we saw the mill, we took a scenic drive around Lake Merwin and stopped at a park. We drove to the town we might move to next year and did a car tour of a wildlife refuge. Then, we drove around some new neighborhoods, looking at houses & picking up some flyers to get ideas about pricing. It was neat doing that with Brandon. :) We saw some beautiful homes.

I'm attaching the album link for the Saturday pics. Lots of nature photos. It was so nice that day! The high was 75. Perfect! :) Click on the link below to see the album.
