Originally, Tronner was coming out to accompany Sam to a John Prine concert. Unfortunately, that concert was canceled, but Tronner still came out for a visit anyway!
We really enjoyed the few days he was with us. Sam and Tronner opened up the last bottle of strawberry wine they bottled together back in 2005. We had it hiding in our pantry just for a visit like this. It was perfect.
We took Tronner on a drive out to Papa's work to get up close to a wind turbine, stopping along the way to pick blackberries which I eventually made blackberry cobbler with. Yum! We also explored the old house out that way that we sometimes like to stop in at and check out. After berry picking, old homestead exploring, and visiting Papa's work, we went out to lunch at The Bluebird in Bickelton.
We wanted to take Tronner on a hike, so we decided on one of our favorites, the Pipeline Trail in Hood River. We love this one because it's fun walking on the metal walk way, and you can get off the trail and head down to the water to cool off and play in the sand! After our hike, we headed to Horsthief in The Dalles for a snack and some swim time! I didn't get any pictures of that because we were all too busy swimming and relaxing.
On Tronner's last day, on the way back to the airport, we took him to Solstice in Hood River for lunch, the Bonneville Fish Hatchery for a walk around, and Multnomah Falls for the view.
With love,
Mama Hauck
