I am back from Portland. It was a fast trip. I am glad I went even though it was a long drive. I went to Portland with my Mom, Dad and Grandpa. My Grandpa's 2nd wife (Teni) passed away about a month ago and last Saturday there was a memorial service and a dedication of her grave. It was nice to take Grandpa there so that he could be there and find closure.
Portland was a lot different than I thought it would be. The city looked and felt very old to me. I did love all the beautiful trees. (I kept saying "look at all the Christmas trees.) It was very green. I did get to go to the two stores that I wanted to make a pit stop at.
On Friday afternoon we stopped at a family favorite restaurant in Napa Idaho.
I had a good book to read and some Delicious trail mix.
Here is a picture of Portland looking south east over the city.
This was the bridge from Oregon to Washington.
These beautiful flowers were everywhere.
Come back tomorrow for Portland Part II.

Those are rhododendrons. :) I had them in my yard when I lived in Oregon! I would fill vases and vases of them and bring them into my house!
