wine and snow

This past weekend was romantical wine and snow getaway- and it totally flooded. Water in the valley, water on the mountain- Mt. Hood Meadows got 3 inches of rain in 2 hours! And .5 inch an hour every hour after that. That's just crazy. Of course the day after we leave the flurries start in again- oh well. Hopefully we'll be back up there again soon! McMen's Grand Lodge was fun except for the fact that our radiator was having a nervous breakdown- it honestly sounded like someone was banging the place down with a crowbar. Awful. They gave us a $10 gift card for some beers which takes the edge off a lil but may I recommend you never stay in room #5... OR #221, it's haunted.

 

The Grand Lodge was once an orphanage, then and old pals' home.

before the rain

Feels like fall out there, but I think summer may show her face once more. For now, the sound of rain is rather soothing. But before this downpour?
