That depends on just where your trip will take you in the State, so
here are a few ideas;

There is Mt. Hood & the Columbia River Gorge, not too far from Portland.
Consider a boat trip up the Columbia.

A coastal road trip from Astoria down Hwy 101 for a visit at the Oregon
Coast Aquarium in Newport
http://www.aquarium.org/
On the way there, stop in at the Tillamook Creamery for a tour and a
little cheese.

Head a little further down to Coos Bay, then turn East and head to
Crater Lake National Park.

....and if you have time hunt down Bill Graham for a meaningful conversation.

BTW for that Columbia River Gorge boat trip (or any of the others they
offer) try;

Multnomah Falls if you're going through the Gorge...Haystack Rock at
Cannon Beach on the coast...it's a big state and lots to see.

Thanks, SD, for the recommendations.

We haven't decided exactly what places will stop at during the trip. The
only given is that we'd like to swing by Boring and give the kids a tour of
the GDB campus (where I trained with my previous guide, Dima).

I've heard there's a place called Cannon Beach that photographs well. So
we'll probably take it in as we make our way down the coast.

If I'm not mistaken, Mount Hood isn't all that far from Boring, so it will
likely make the itinerary.

As for chilling with Bill, I'm game if he is (and we end up in his stomping
ground) ... :)

Once again, thanks for the recommendations.

Take Care,
Dudley
