Curiosity


Gollum decided to help us paint. He is such a good helper.

The Rose City

My parents came to visit us the first weekend in June. I love having company because it gives us an excuse to do all the touristy things in Portland we would otherwise never do. For example, we went to the International Rose Testing Garden on June 2. The timing was PERFECT. All the rose bushes were in bloom, and most of the flowers were at their peak. It was beautiful.

We also went to Cannon Beach and had dinner at Mo’s. We ate lunch at Hot Lips Pizza in the Pearl and went on a Portland Spirit dinner cruise. The dinner cruise was better than I expected, but I could have done without the waiting staff breaking into song every 20 minutes. Ugh. The cruise allowed me to view all the river-side property in Lake Oswego I will one day acquire. (Yang, start working harder).

We had a great time showing the best of Portland to my parents.
