 Monday: We travel along the Columbia River and Pelicans are plentiful along the... |
 ....drier western portion of the river. |
 Later, Mt. Hood comes into view. |
 At last we're here and are introduced to the newest member of the family! Olive!! |
 Olive is a lapdog despite her size! How did you do that, Jordan? |
 Paying for the parking spot in Portland. |
 Chyna is pretty as ever in her typical pose. |
 Tuesday we drive up to Mt. Hood and snowboarders are still frisking on the slopes. |
 We visit Timberline Lodge, aWPA constructed hotel that belongs to us all! |
 The exterior of the Timberline was used to film the Shining. |
 And here's the artifact from the show! |
 This chimney is 9 stories tall though we see only the first level here. |
 At the entrance, a glass mosaic is an original! |
 Original art fills the place. |
 Ronnie is really taken with the shuffle board. |
 Old ski display in the lobby. |
 The newell (a telephone pole) post cost $3.00 in it's day and was sculpted with an animal on each. |
 The back windows look out on the peak of Hood. |
 And here's an extension of that 9-story chimney. |
 Step back into the 30's at every turn. |
 Art deco ..... or native American....design is everywhere as well. |
 |
 More skiis. |
 Wednesday: We meet Prudy, Nick... |
 ....and Paul for lunch in... |
 .....corvallis |
 Friday Jordan does some work on her laptop from home. |
 Maeple at the beach. |
 Fishermen drive their boats right up onto the beach when the work is done! |
 Ron is his usual animated self describing a Seinfeld episode. |
 Pacific City beach from the road. Notice the trucks on the beach? |
 Ron and Jordan. |
 Maeple and Olive nosedive for a ball. |
 They love chasing balls... |
 ...and Jordan throws it well with the Chuck-it. |
 Ron gets ready to go for a cold surf! |
 We make a 'pitstop' on the way home. |
 Saturday we go into Portland for .... |
 |
 Market Day where street perfomers... |
 ....and alternative transportation are plentiful. |
 Obama's got his people on the streets. |
 ....with t-shirts for sale! Buy one! |
 Have your cards read. This woman looks like she knows her business. |
 Last stop, Powell's Bookstore....7 floors of books! Heaven!! |
 Evening: We have meatballs at IKEA! |
 Oh how lovely, to have IKEA... |
 ...nearby to stroll and.... |
 ...buy dog toys at! |
 Sunday AM: We are given a tour of the Rose Garden at.... |
 Washington Park, a lovely, large city park. |
 Oh the roses! Did you know that they all do NOT smell... |
 ....the same? Each has it's own distinctive scent! |
 And photographers are in proliferation too! |
 Posing with a nice.. |
 ...backdrop makes us think that we might as well pose... |
 ....again! |
 And we're on a hill with the city at our feet. |
 Arbors frame the path. |
 Leaving the garden, this is an apt find. |
 Leaving |
 Then we stop at World Market...much like a Pier One, |
 ...to window shop. |
 We wander through the store. |
 ....and find a few treasures! |
 For home and .... |
 ...friends. |
 Then we make our stop at the checkout. |
 Last Day: Maeple trees a squirrel? |
 And Olive points...hoping someone will throw a ball for her! |
 "Throw it, Ma!" |
 "Aren't ya goin' to throw it?" |
 "Where did it go? I don't see it!" |
 "Sometimes it's better to be cozy with your Ma instead of chasing balls!" |
 'But what could be cozier than this?" |
 Ron and Ronnie get ready to get into the truck. |
 Chyna helps to pack. |
 Ron and Jordans dining/livingroom. |
 Chyna gazes out the window...her favorite place! |
 Then it's back to the train station.... |
 ...and what a station it is!! |
