My Places to GO

I've selected several local sites and activities visitors to our area could find fun and exciting to visit. These are just a few of those locations I've enjoyed going to.
Great brew & food. Live entertainment (occasionally) & it's located right on the Columbia River! Must see (especially for those CosmicTripsters).

Less than an hour drive away, magical views and stories of a very historic volcanic eruption. Access in winter time can be limited, but you'll truly enjoy the visit.

We renew our membership here every year! What a treat for a first time visit for the whole family! Besides the great exhibits that periodically change, you can enjoy a variety of movies on the SUPER HUGE screen! If you're going to be around a few days, take the short drive into Portland and explore OMSI.

A great day trip for families. Less than an hour drive and you're at an indoor waterpark geared for the entire family. No need to stay overnight to enjoy all the attractions available here. It's a bit pricey, but the memories you'll leave with with last a really long time!

If I'm feeling lucky, this is my #1 choice for slot fun! Yes, it's a bit of a drive (about 1.5 hours north), but when you get there, concerts, casino games, food, and my favorite Cigar Bar. As I said, it does require a decision to drive, but the slots can be loose, food is good and fun can be had. Did I mention a very beautiful and challenging Golf course too?

Just a few minutes drive from our place, this is a great golf course with excellent drainage. So, even in the wetter winter months you could still get in a round of golf. There's some great golf to experience here and the price is very reasonable. Check it out!

Food scene

This is a great place to eat smoked meats! Priced reasonably and nice portions! Also caters to local home brewers, so they have an excellent shop to check out.

Sightseeing

A local Regional favorite. A visit here and you'll certainly be able to relate to the vast array of art, photos and sketches of the Portland area. Multnomah Falls is a great place to take a short hike and marvel at one nature's beautiful gifts!

Great inner-city park with jogging trails, playgrounds, lawns and scenery galore! Take a basket lunch and just sit by the lake and enjoy the great scenery here. If you like to jog, paved walkways will give you a very long run in a great environment.

There are so many entry points into the Columbia River just minutes away! Enjoy soft sandy beaches or quite waterways that feed into it. Kayak, soak or swim. It never will get old.
