We spent a quiet New Years at home this year. It was relaxing and peaceful after a busy and festive Christmas. On New Year’s Day I got a bee in my bonnet to get out and do something fun, but J wanted to stay close to home and not spend a lot of time in the car. Oh yeah, it was also really cold (like 30 degrees).
So we bundled up in our warmest clothes, packed into the new car (!!), and set off for Multnomah Falls. It’s half an hour out of town, beautiful, and allows for a little bit of hiking.
It was cold. The wind was blowing, the frost was on the ground, and there was ice on the trail, but we had fun anyway. The waterfall was beautiful and, perhaps as importantly, there was a restaurant there that served a hot lunch. We were contented starting off the year with a fun family outing that brought us home in time for afternoon nap.
