Quick Trip to Portland

My sister Susan is not able to go on our family cruise in February, 

so we decided to do a quick trip to Portland.

On our flight to Portland - Lisa and Peggy were chatting - 

just chatting not the "Bradley Laugh" loud chatting.

The gal in front of them turned around and asked them to use their

"Library voices".  We were quite offended.. The nerve!

We laughed and laughed about it later.  We did not know we needed library voices on the plane.

On the way from the airport we drove along the Columbia River Gorge.

It was sooo green.  We stopped and took pics!

We are not used to this forest life, we live in a desert.

We couldn't resist taking pics across the road.

(Lisa was the photographer)

Yes we were tourists in awe!

There is moss everywhere!

Ferns just randomly grow.

After the scenery tour... we headed to Susan's house.

We took a picture... six of us together.

Then it was knitting, visiting and laughing.

We reminisced and had a wonderful visit.

Lots of rain and leaves falling.

At the airport the next morning waiting for our flight.

Yes we all brought our knitting.

Mom was a knitter and we have all picked it up.
A gal at the airport asked if we had been to a knitting convention.

It was a fun quick weekend.

Sometimes you just have to be a bit impulsive.
