Looking Down On Portland

The historic Pittock Mansion was closed, but we were able to enjoy the view.
We visited Portland to watch a Trail Blazer game.  It was the first NBA game that I had watched in person since the Sonics left town.

Barers Of Maple Valley Visit Central Oregon Coast

We just got back from a few days on the Oregon Coast, and while the trip did not have the shear madness and mishaps of last year's Sedona trip, I thought it would be fun to share some of the highlights. We arrived in Lincoln City Saturday night after a four and a half to five hour drive. We had gotten a late start and hit Portland in the evening. As you leave Portland you have to drive through the suburbs of Tigard and Sherwood, on through Dundee and McMinville and finally arriving in Lincoln City.
