Portland Trip

A week of total relaxation and fun. Just what the doctor would have ordered for a worn out, over worked Q. We left the day after his generals finished and I think it was just in time. Kim was a fantastic hostess (she even gave up her bed) and really showed us a great time. We had fun riding bikes, playing frisbee golf, watching 2 complete seasons of The Office, cooking, watching the Cooking Network, playing games, hiking at Silver Falls (about 6 miles), just laying around bonding, and my favorite day -- going to the beach and aquarium. I think Lydia's favorite day was at the beach too (until she realized how cold she was) and she loved watching Kim feed fish heads to the seals because they would clap and make noise and show off (luckily we weren't the recipients of their other tactic -- splashing stinky seal water at the humans until they dump all the fish in the water and run). Our trip was an awesome reminder of just how much we love Oregon (and Kimi). Thanks Kim!
