We ate breakfast in Twin Falls at the famed Idaho Joes restaurant. The flies weren't overwhelming and they had lots of home made pies you could choose from. We stopped at the overlook of the Snake River, viewed the amazing gorge, which looks like someone just ripped the two pieces of earth apart, leaving a trickling river far at the bottom, and then sometime later, installed a golf course. The latter is just slightly bizarre.
We then drove straight through Idaho and into Oregon. We stopped in Pendelton for lunch. While there, we just happen to stop into Hamley's http://www.hamley.com/ and found a beautiful pair of boots that I just had to have. Then, geared up, we headed across the street to a little Italian place Como's Italian Eatery and enjoyed great pasta dishes before heading back onto I84West.
We drove the rest of the way into Hood River admiring the majestic Columbia Gorge. The sun was setting and we were allowed a spectacular view of the gorge, the Columbia River, and cloud capped Mt. Hood. It was a surreal ending to a long trip.
We drove into my parents' driveway with our lights out, snuck quietly into the house, and surprised them during dinner. Yeah, we made it!

Good job Chuck!!
Your photos are really great. But man, if you guys ever try sneaking into our house and "surprising us during dinner," I'm going to have an aneurysm.
