Portlandia

We stopped along the Washington Coastline to have a picnic lunch on the beach. When we set foot on the beach the sun was shining above, 5 minutes later, the fog rolled in and hid the ocean and the kids (see video on web page)!
We left WA and headed to Oregon. We spent two nights with the McLernons. Brian used to live in NJ and moved to Portland, OR when he met his beautiful wife, Gayle. Alexis and their daughter, Brenna, hit it off instantly. We toured downtown Portland and drank from the Bubblers. Bubblers are cool quad water fountains spread throughout the city streets. Portland is a beautiful city with lush greenery all around.
We all had a very nice, relaxing visit, got all the laundry done, but most importantly, got to spent some quality time with good friends.

  1. Hard to believe it's nearly August. Sure sounds like the trip has been amazing. You may have a hard time getting back to normal here in NJ. Continued safe travels!

  2. I almost forgot about Barley!!!! Barley is the McLernon's yellow labra-doodle. He was so sweet and soft! We all miss our Dixie a little more now.
