There are lots of places to stay that would accomodate your family. Try windance.com, info source, links, Gorge info for sources. |

The baby doesnt care where s/he sleeps, and if the wife cares where she sleeps, get her into WSing and shell change her tune.

Unless you have an RV to park at the beach, I would suggest leaving the wife and kid in a nice rental unit while you go sailing. Most of the Gorge launch sites will get really boring after an hour if you arent sailing. I would suggest renting a condo or house within walking distance to downtown HR so the wife can entertain herself while you take the car and go sailing. |

Hilton is absolutely right. Downtown HR is the only place to be for the non-wsing spouse. A condo at The Lodge (7th and Cascade St.) is less than 4 blocks walk to kid friendly toy stores, ice cream and candy shops, a few museums, parks, cofee shops, etc.
Isobars advice will leave you with serious marital discord way the fork out in the desert with a pod wife and child and sand in your shorts. |

Good luck trying to get her into w.s.ing. It only works if she wants to. Even then I would suggest professional lessons in a nice warm place. Unless theyre real outdoor gals, most will care where they sleep, and especially where the baby sleeps. |

I know MANY non-sailing wives, including those with little kids, who seem to love lounging on shore while their guy shreds. While the advice to get a condo near HR and abandon the family is appropriate with some spouses, it stereotypes LooPloops wife as a high-maintenance princess. Only LooPloop knows the facts.

Typically the wind is too strong and the water too choppy for a two year old. But maybe you have a prodigy on your hands. |
