Portland and Points of Interest


We spent Memorial Weekend in Portland with Jenn and her family. The children are growing and changing so much, we try to see them every six months at least. What a beautiful city with giant size blooms on bushes. These are the same ones we have as flowering plants because they don't grow larger than twelve inches here.


Tillamook Cheese is a few hours west and the great sandy beaches. Cannon Beach with the Haystack outcroppings are dark fortresses full of bird rookeries. The Portland Temple, Saturday Market, the OMSI museum and Portland zoo were other stops we made.

This is definitely a city we need to visit again. A river runs through it and freeways and bridges crisscross in many places. Why don't you meet us there?
