Our 3 Hour Tour

Prior to our 2nd anniversary we found out the Portland Spirit would be in the Tri-Cities doing cruises along the Columbia River. After talking about our options (which were basically nonexistent) we settled on the idea of doing a dinner cruise the day after our official day.

We headed over to Clover Island to board our our ship:

 

As we enjoyed our meal we looked at the map, learned more about the area, and tried to orient ourselves along the way.

Since we were doing the dinner cruise we kept our eyes on the sunset. We headed up to the top deck so that we could enjoy the sunset and hopefully capture some good pictures; even managing a half-way decent self-portrait!

 

 

Due to it being our anniversary I decided to let Dan order the dessert of his choice (as long as it was the one that came with our meal...)

Once dinner and dessert were over Dan just sat back and made himself right at home:

We kept leaving our table to go onto the top deck so we could watch the scenery go by and visit the wheel house. I tried some to capture some night images...my outdated little point & shoot didn't do what I wanted but some of the images were still kinda cool:

 

After our 2 ½ tour (to be more exact) we were back at the starting point...

So we disembarked...

...then returned home commenting on how much we enjoyed our evening and that we were glad the dinner cruise was how we celebrated our anniversary this year.
