Portland and Friends

Wendy's family and Melanie picked us up in the morning for a day at Oregon Museum of Science and Industry.  We sort of lost track of time and the kids dug in their heels when it was time to go--it was that kind of museum.  Yes, it was a science teacher's dreamland, but fun for all. Trevor and Rylee especially liked the Crime Scene Investigation special exhibit.  They solved the mystery.  

We left in time to catch the train to Spokane.  It was another beautiful trip along the Columbia Gorge during sunset.  It was our last train trip and it's been perfect transportation for us. Kipp's brother, Kevin, his wife, Doris, and daughter, Dana, met us at the station at midnight.

The kids loved OMSI, it was "electrifying."

Rylee and Hannah play "four in a row" using robotic arms at OMSI.


Ann's college buddies--Melanie and Wendy-- showed us around Portland.  We decided it was our 20th year reunion.

    Thanks for more pics. It looks like you guys are having a lot of fun! It's sure nice to reunite with old friends.

    We're looking forward to you coming home to Valdez. We miss you.

    I'm glad it was YOU GUYS who ate the frog legs. We're going to stick with Red Salmon! :)
