Yesterday Josh and I took advantage of the sun and each took half days at work. Which for him means getting off at 10:30, and 11:00 for me. We ate lunch and headed to Multnomah Falls for the day. We have been there before but never really exploring the area together. We took the advice of a couple of my co-workers and did the scenic drive. We ended up seeing some beautiful places on the way to Multnomah Falls including Horsetail Falls, my favorite. Eventually we made our way to the main event. 
We decided to walk up to the bridge, not having been up there in years. I forgot how beautiful it is up there. From there we decided to keep hiking up, and see how far we could go. We didn't plan on hiking yesterday, I was in jeans, and we had no water, but off we went. It took us a while (well it took me a while, while Josh waited) but we made it up to the top.
It was the most perfect 75 degree Oregon day and we had quite the view from the top.

After quickly making our way back down we got some ice cream and sat outside and relaxed before heading on our way. 
We kept on the scenic drive and headed up to Crown Point and just took in the day. It was beautiful. 
After heading back to the Portland area we decided to head downtown since the Rose Festival started and it was free for opening day. First we decided to treat ourselves to a nice sit down dinner and headed to McCormick and Schmick's for some wonderful salmon dishes. then we wondered into the festival watched people play games, ride the rides, and Josh attempted to win me a prize at the basketball game, knowing fair well it's a rip off... 5 bucks was all we spent, with no luck. The prize we were going for was a giant stuffed banana... who wouldn't want that, come on now! As we headed back to the car at the Smartpark we had a bit of a scare... we were just about to pass Buffalo Wild Wings on 4th when the police showed up and were going after an obviously drunk bald man, while a customer at BWW tried to hold him. 
Just then the man that was trying to hold him for the cops, came running back to his table and yelled "he's got a gun!"... our hearts skipped a beat. We're not sure what happened but there were no shots fired, we climbed up the stairs of our parking garage and peered over the edge from inside to see 2 men arrested being thoroughly searched... nothing happened but definitely not settling on a sunny Friday downtown. We saw the sunset as we drove home and quickly sat down from exhaustion. It was overall a great day
