Thank you Dad! I was brainstorming locations in the Tri-Cities, but my parents did not approve. My dad came up with the idea of having the wedding at Skamania Lodge in Stevenson, Washington. I first fell in love with Skamania Lodge in the early 1990s, not for its beautiful location, but for the fact that it had Barq's root beer on tap! My love of the Lodge grew over the years as I came to appreciate the amazing seafood selection and the beautiful scenery. In high school, I walked all over the grounds with my camera in hand to take photos for my photography class. I have the best picture of my parents walking hand-in-hand down a path, with a light fog in the trees. I got marked down for the fog by my teacher because he said I should have gotten more definition in the branches. He was not very understanding. The photo is still on our fridge in Richland, Washington. The fridge hasn't changed much in the last eight years. I love home. OK... Important news about Skamania:
For out of town guests, it is much cheaper to fly into the Portland, Oregon airport, than to fly into Pasco, Washington. Our wedding planner recommends that guests rent a car in Portland and drive the 45-minutes to Stevenson, Washington. It is a beautiful drive along the Columbia River Gorge. You will all love it. We will soon be reserving a block of rooms under the Bruemmer name. The Lodge details are at the bottom bar of the page, so scroll down please. We are hoping they will give us a deal. The summer deal in 2008 was only $119 a night. For a cheaper option, there is a Econo Lodge down the way. www.econolodge.com 40 NE Second St, Stevenson, Washington (509) 427-5628
