50 years!

Yep, 50 years ago, Vera and I got married, that was the smartest move I ever made, she is great!  She suggested we make a trip to McMinnville and go through the Evergreen Museum.

It couldn't have been better, there were hardly any people there!  Some school bands came in later, but they were in an area we had already looked at, and they were gone the next time we came by.

It was raining when we got there, so I didn't think we would get to get pictures of the planes outside, but by the time we finished up it was sunny out and I got pictures of all the planes.  In fact, I took 568 pictures today not counting the ones I took with my phone and put on Facebook.  After all that walking, we were ready to head home.

We decided to try a different way home, one our friend Dale had told us about using Highway 47.  We loved it, when we got to Carlton, this mill had me pulling off for pictures.

Carlton's business district reminds me of towns fifty years ago.  We parked and wandered around all two blocks of it taking pictures.

We picked up some treats at a bakery before continuing on our way home.  I told the GPS to take us home, and it mapped a route over Cornelius Pass, which is the way we wanted to go.  We stopped in Scappoose and had dinner, then we were all refreshed for the final drive to home.
