I apologize for posting this without pictures. I will add pictures as soon as I can. For some reason my Sony camera software will not work on my mac. I might have to wait until next weekend to upload pictures. :)
Anywho...Last weekend, my good friend Abbe came all the way from Ohio to visit Tom and I. We were extremely happy to have her and show her all the wonders of Oregon.
Day 1.
Abbe and I went to happy hour at the fabulous Portland City Grill. We then headed to the square for her to take the honorary Portland statue picture, and lastly, we went to Powells book store.
Day 2Abbe and I did a little wine tasting in Dundee, OR. We randomly ran into a few Ohio visitors, and we made friends with farmer Sam at Mareash Vineyards. Later that day we met up with Tom for some dinner, and a quick stop at Shane and Maria's for Maria's birthday party!
Day 3We rolled out of bed and headed to Beaterville for fabulous breakfast. Next, we went to the Columbia River Gorge for some hiking and waterfalls. It was a misty, overcast day, but it was still neat to see all the waterfalls. Later that day, Abbe and I said farewell to Tom as he went off to China for a couple of weeks. We finished the weekend hanging out, ordering take out, and watching a few good movies. :)
Day 4
Abbe and I said our goodbyes early in the morning. When I returned, I tried to do my chores Tom left for me to do. Well, actually, there was only one chore he wanted me to do...it was to mow the lawn. I have never mowed the lawn before ever...and I never want to again. I have to say, I did a really poor job. There are now stripes in our backyard.
Abbe, thanks for coming to visit. I know you've been super busy with Med School, and we really appreciate you taking the time to fly all the way over here. We loved having you here! The next time I see you, I'll finally be able to call you Dr. Craven! :)Again, I'll post pictures as soon as I can!
XOXO
Yay! Honored to be featured on the famous Adrienne blog! :) I had a fabulous weekend when I came to visit and still daydream about hiking in the gorge.
ReplyDeleteAlso, LOVE that you have become an aggressive mole-hunter-- they'll regret the day they came to live in (and dig up) your yard!

ps. I usually see your updates through my blog-reader, but to comment, I had to come to your site and got to experience the awesome 80s music! I haven't heard "Jesse's girl" or "Take On Me" in far, far too long. I might just leave it up while I'm working on research today ;)
You are hilarious! I didn't see your comment until today. Tom's finally home, so maybe I can put up some pictures from your trip today or tomorrow. :) I'll talk to you soon!
