Last weekend
we traveled west from Portland which landed us on the coast. Today we go east to Hood River for the premier wedding of the year. Let's begin:
The drive through the Columbia River Gorge is awe-inspiring and completely breathtaking. When you bust out of the city on I-84, be sure to drop right before
Troutdale. Coming up as you descend into the gorge with the commanding Columbia River on your left and intimidating bluffs on your right is a total mind fuck. Then you can plateau and enjoy the rest of the ride. It takes about an hour to get to Hood River but not so you would really notice it. Hood River has a killer downtown area with all sorts of cool shit but that is not where we are headed today.

I took this panorama before the wedding party showed up. Pretty fucking
badass, huh? Your wedding was probably in the common area of your crappy apartment complex. Oh wait, my bad. Who the fuck would marry you?
Here is a shot of the beautiful couple. They were both so happy and beaming as if the world had crumbled around them and they were the only two people left in an eternal embrace. Their improvised vows spoke words that could never be put on paper. "I bet you cried, sissy." I did not fucking cry, dickhead.

The reception site was just as incredible as the wedding site. The surrounding woods offered plenty of opportunity to disappear and partake in adult activities. Everyone was bitching about how hot it was even though it was only 92 degrees and shady with a slight breeze. That's why I love this climate. How are your 100+ heatwaves this summer, suckers?
Here are some of my stupid loser friends. Note the
AFLAC baseball cap. When I busted his balls about it he said, "but it was the only black hat I had!"
This being a food blog and all, I figured I would snap the food too. The lemon-caper cedar plank salmon was cooked to perfection and the chicken had a blackberry BBQ sauce that I am itching to replicate. The vegetables were local, fresh, and had a wonderful crisp to them. Excellent all the way around. Congratulations Rob and Cherice Melchior! Here's to a lifetime of love and happiness. Enjoy it.

I love it when you travel. Pop over to Matthew Fox's new house and shoot some pics. Beats me where the hell it is, but he said it's on the Oregon coast. Find it, dammit. I'm so pissed that LOST is over.
Rob and Cherice, whatever the fuck you do, DON'T HAVE KIDS! Enjoy each other for the rest of your lives.
