Saturday was freakin' beautiful, so we slathered the kids with sunblock, packed up the little red wagon and headed south to the Columbia. At Jay's suggestion, we continued on and crossed the new land bridge over SR14 toward Ft. Vancouver. The kids were super-tolerant when Mama and Papa slaked their thirst afterward with a few pints of Ruby at McMenamin's on the Columbia.
The Vancouver part of the Confluence Project is meant to "reconnect Ft. Vancouver to the waterfront" - as part of a re-establishment of the ancient "tribal crossroads." When walking down there - with the airplanes overhead on their way to PDX, the trains squeaking past, the boats and barges on the Columbia and the cars on SR14, you really do notice how many different types of transportation go through that corridor. You especially notice when you've got a 3-year old pointing every passing vehicle out to you.
