Wes and I continued his birthday celebration this Monday and Tuesday at Cave B. Inn on the Columbia River, just two hours away from home, neighboring the famous Gorge Amphitheater! We had a sensational time! First, I have to credit my sister and brother in law in caring for Eleanor! It was the first night I haven't cuddled my little sweetie to bed since she has been born...I missed her guts! We are so lucky to have family that is exceptionally wonderful with our daughter and enjoys spending time with her, thank you so much Deborah and bill!
Wes and I have made it tradition in staying somewhere fun for his birthday (he can never think of gifts he wants or needs, so i give him/us memories), last year we lounged around Northern Quest casino overnight. This year I wanted to take him somewhere more interesting. I had remembered reading about a friends yurt adventure off the coast of Oregon this past February, she said it was the best weekend ever spent!(Alison-Claire : Home sweet yurt). Naturally (with a review like that), I was determined! I started looking for nearby places, I didnt want to be far from Eleanor. My sister had recommended Cave B. and I quickly booked one Luxury Desert Yurt! Read about their Sustainable Practices, they really are a unique resort and it shows through EVERYTHING. Their lodging, the grounds and trails, especially the food and wine, everything was perfectly cared for. We will definitely return...next time we will bring all our family!
Here are a few pictures of our stay...

Sunroof! at midnight, the big dipper was positioned directly above us...
...and so was this creepy guy ;)
Lots of drunken smooches. Hey, "when in Rome"
This was right before we had the most AMAZING dinner
of both our lives! The prices are ridiculous but worth every penny

We hiked down to the bottom of the Gorge...
...It took three hours....
...alot of large steep hills through (at the end) rough terrain...
...but the views were stunning.

See that animal? I was afraid, cause im a baby.
Gorgeous views

An old car and a refrigerator were found at the bottom

We saw some pretty cool rock formations
Accomplished and exhausted but not defeated
SEE YOU SOON CAVE B. !
