Portland

We all drove to Oregon on Saturday to drop D at the ultimate frisbee camp at Linfield College in McMinnville, where he'll spend most of the next week. M and I spent the night in Portland where we had dinner (and dessert, more significantly) at Papa Haydn's on 23rd and breakfast at the Bijou Cafe on 3rd.

It was Sunday, but we went to the Saturday Market anyway. We didn't buy anything, though, and we also resisted the urge to join the very long line at Voodoo Donuts. Maybe next time.

After shopping tax-free at REI and wandering around downtown, we took a circuitous loop out of city, checking out Alberta Street, Hawthorne Boulevard, and even the Sellwood neighborhood south of town. We headed back to Seattle Sunday evening - skirting the ugly I-5 traffic south of Olympia by getting off in Chehalis and taking the backroad up through Tenino. The plan is for D to show up on the train Thursday evening.
