Portland

"Summer Vacation" was great fun this year. We flew to Seattle and met up with Jess & Mark - Dori's college buddy & her SO. That's right Mark, you're an SO ;)

We drove down and spent the first weekend in Portland. The weather was incredible!

Here is Chris looking over the Wilamette River (I think) that runs through Portland. It was the Rose Festival the weekend we were there and people were out and about everywhere!

We visited a few of the Oregon wineries in the Wilamette Valley - sampled some really great wines and saw some beautiful landscape...



Here we are at the Lange Winery with our friends Steve, Mark, Jess & Afton. Afton and Steve just moved to Portland and graciously let us crash at their adorable place.







Then we finished off the day with a drive to the Oregon coast (Tillamook area) It was beautiful!



You can't see it too well in this small pic - but the tide was out and there were these wonderful little air bubble patterns in the sand from whatever creature was buried beneath...
