I have been fantasizing about driving to Interstate 82 for at least half a year now. Today, we made it a reality.

I was navigator and instructed the driver (Daddy) on where to go.

Our first stop was the Bridge of the Gods that spans the Columbia River, from I-84 in Oregon to SR-14 in Washington. Isn’t it a beauty??

We drove east in Washington for a bit and got to look back across to Oregon.

We eventually crossed the Hood River Bridge and had lunch in Hood River, OR. Mommy ordered a sandwich called the Turkey Meister, a name I can’t stop saying.

And Daddy played with toothpicks.

Then it was off to drive some more until we hit I-82. It took a long time, but was totally worth it! (Bonus: we saw lots and lots of bridges and trains. Official count: a gazillion.)

Then Mommy and Daddy really needed some tea and coffee, so I lounged here in this gigantic recliner.

Finally, we headed home after sundown. It was a long day, but an interstate dream was fulfilled.
