Back from Skamania Lodge!


Dale's yearly convention was this week in Stevenson, WA at Skamania Lodge. Almost 11 years to the day we were there previously for our honeymoon. Was fun returning and enjoying the beautiful scenery. I met up with a galpal (Tonia) and visited at her parent's house (Rick and Mary Williams) in White Salmon which is about 25 minutes east of Stevenson. It was fun to see their house and to take a little touristy trip to Hood River for lunch and the cute shops. Hood River is a place I would like to go back to and play a little more. Our time at Skamania was fun and relaxing... all except one part that is. Ella got an ambulance ride to Hood River ER after choking at dinner. Being the choking went on for so long before we were able to get the food out the EMT crew thought it was best to have her checked out. Nothing like being a parent and being kept on your toes! We are trying not to relive the experience being that it is over but it was very scary and we are glad she is ok. Definitely the talk of Dale's convention. I enjoyed nap time and being able to read on the balcony overlooking the River and watching the trains go by below. We are home now and getting ready for Aquafest that is tomorrow!!!
