Sauvie Island, originally uploaded by Tokenhippygirl.

This last Sunday we ventured out to Sauvie Island with some friends for a little hike along the beach. The dogs, ours and our friend’s, loved it. As did we. It was gorgeous out there. What a beautiful spot and a lovely day. Just about perfect. The only thing that might have made it better would’ve been if we’d thought ahead enough to pack a small barbecue and some food. We could have stayed there all day. At a certain point the dogs got to be off leash and it was as if they were sprung from prison or something. I’ve never seen such happy dogs. Running, playing, chasing, rolling around in the sand (after getting a little wet in the river of course)…. happy happy joy joy.

There was a fantastic view of Mt. St. Helens on Sunday.  Pretty clear.  Plus, there was quite a bit of water traffic out on the Columbia.  Made for some good photo ops.
