Punch Bowl Falls

About three weeks ago (on Tom's birthday in fact), we went on a hike with some friends up to Punch Bowl Falls in the Columbia Gorge. Some people refer to them as the "Temple Falls" because they are the falls that are in the temple movie (are you jealous I live is such a pretty place?). 

While we were up there, Tom decided it would be a good idea to go for a little swim,

And then he discovered the cliffs....


And even bigger cliffs.


Yes, my husband jumped off a 60 foot cliff.  Why, I am not sure, but I think I might have something to do with the fact that it was his 30th birthday, and he wanted to prove that he was still young.  

I am not so sure this was the greatest way to prove his youthfulness, because his knee has been bugging him ever since the jump.  But at least he had fun, and he can still claim that he is young at heart, right?
