We have lived in Portland for more than 15 years and have never been to Fort Vancouver. Yesterday was a rainy day, not the best day for an outdoor historic site but this is Oregon and we don’t melt. Plus there were plenty of buildings to duck into. The original fort and buildings burned down in the 19th century, but the stockade and several buildings have been reconstructed. There were living history volunteers cooking...
Today was the first really great, sunny, spring day on Portland. Nadya was away at a cross-stitch retreat so I went out and shot some sporting clays at Mitchell’s Clay Target Sports. For not having been in a while I didn’t do too bad with an overall score of 71% As is tradition, I finished off the afternoon with some tacos!
On the way back from Sisters, Nadya and I stopped by the Woodburn Tulip Festival. There were flowers, people and mud.
Two weeks with Nadya and me working too much and a little too much stress mean: Arrive in Sisters, check in at Pine Lodge, have a beer (or two) at the brewpub and then sleep for 10 hours. Get up, go for a hike, have coffee, buy a book, taste booze at the distillery, see the easter bunny, take a soak, drink a bottle of 2004 DDO Louise, think about dinner. Sleep some more...
Over the weekend Nadya, Laura and I went to Cocktail Camp. We had a lot of fun and learned a lot. Highly recommended. All the photos were taken with the trusty iPhone and a little blurry. Need to work on that
