2011 Portland

Flying to Portland  $$$$

Going to Disney on ice $$$

 Seeing our grandson on Grandparents day: priceless!!!

Grandpa and Alosha ( Indiana Jones) working together.



Halloween parade



Portland Oregan

Just a few more days and off to Portland Oregon

This was the view from the apartment.

  There is a lot of things to do in Portland. One thing I would suggest is to park your car and use public transportation. Not much parking and the transportaion is great.

 Going to the Zoo

This is a great Zoo ( Luka watching the Seal)

Then there is the Rose Garden.

When you come at the right time it is just amazing!

 You also can go to farms and pick you own  berry's. We picked  fresh blueberry's and raspberry's. I think we ate more than we picked .

Good job!!

oh so good!

Little help from Aunt Stacy

Yes you can eat all you want!


.Not to forget the country side with waterfalls and hiking trails every where.

Grandpa and two grandsons

And then there is one of my favorites: The Oregon coast.

  But the reason we go to Oregon as much as we can is not any of these reasons.  It is our daughter, son in law and our three grandsons and one on the way (could be a granddaughter). We love to be with them as much as we can.

Cabin on Wheel's at Home

A wonderful weekend at home. Weather is just perfect; low in the 80's. Dinner menu for tonight  is going to be Red Onion Jam with bagget slices as an appetizer. The first time we  tried this was at Napa Valley Grill that was located in the Mall of America in Minnesota. For the main course we decided to make Pico de Gallo Shrimp over pasta. This recipe came from Chef Jon Bonnell. We have not had a chance to eat at Bonnell's Fine Texas Cuisine but we have eaten some of Bonnell's great food when he and his wife came to Graham for the reception at Art Splash.
