The Burker turned 24 yesterday, but we did a pre-bday trip East to Hood River this past weekend. This past weekend was the first 80 degree of the year so there were throngs of people in the Gorge hiking and sightseeing. I decided that Mitchell Point would be a good options because a) not very popular = not crowded b) Ive never done it c) it was a short hike d) great views from the top. In the end, the trail turned out to be super steep and a little sketchy for Kerrie. She was a trooper tho and even let me run to the top to check out the views, which were pretty sick. After that I may or may not have locked the keys in the car and we may or may not have waited around 45 mins for AAA to show up.
Eventually we made it up Hwy 35 to the Viento Wine tasting room, which was very crowded but fun. After that we continued south to the Mt.Hood Winery which was very nice and had excellent views of Mt. Hood and Mt. Adams. It was nice to just relax in the sun and sip on some nice wine.
Next, we headed back down into Hood River for dinner. Much to my surprise and excitement, the Mt. Hood Cycling Classic was underway, and Kerrie and I stood and watch the finale of a crit (not sure what CAT or age level). It was cool because I haven’t seen an actual bike race like this in person. We followed the events with a wonderful dinner at the 6thStreet Bistro and headed back home to relax by the outdoor fire pit.
