What a great time we had on a road trip--without our trailer! We spent a couple nights in Ashland, OR on the way north. Dorothy and Jerry Brooks offered us their home to stay in, even though they weren't there -- our big disappointment. But they are located just a block from the downtown area. We were thrilled to see 3 plays, and enjoy their comfortable home at the same time.
We spent another couple nights in Portland, OR, at a lovely downtown hotel. We did lots of walking and utilizing their great transportation system to see many of the Portland sights. We had a wonderful meal on our last night -- right on the Columbia River.
Our main destination was to the Bellevue, WA area where my brother, Alan, lives. His wife, Sue, planned a 60th birthday party for him. It was great to meet so many of their friends, and to show a slideshow for the gathering of our growing-up years. The other goal was to get to Silver Skis Lodge on Crystal Mountain to officiate at Alan's stepdaughter's wedding. The weather had been sizzling hot the weekend before, but the wedding weekend turned cold. Our Hawaiian outdoor laua by the pool (for the rehearsal dinner) meant we had to wear jackets and gloves to keep warm! The sun peeked out (barely) for the outdoor wedding, but all in all, it was a wonderful weekend.
