House Update

Just a quick update on our house. They have finished texturing the sheetrock with a style called the "Sun Valley Swirl" and we are expecting them to start painting this week. Everything looks great and continues to go very quickly.

Portland Oregon

Over the Fourth of July weekend we decided to head out to Portland. We left on Thursday after work and arrived there at 1:30 in the morning, only to be awakened at 8:00 am by the fire alarm... fun. Not really sure what happened, but we stayed another couple of nights so everything must have been okay. We pretty much just bummed around town and saw some fun shops and interesting sites. The Japanese Gardens were supposedly the best outside of Japan with good reason. We navigated around town on the light rail system, avoiding traffic and getting lost. It was a very fun and exciting trip that was well worth the drive.

The World's Smallest Park (24 sq. in.).

Apparently, the creator of the Simpson's named his characters after Portland streets.
