Business Trip to Oregon


Adec paid for us to fly to Oregon and tour a their facilities.  We are looking at building another office and bringing on a third dentist. (Jaxon Hoopes and Brooke, who came with us)  Holly and Mark couldn't come last minute because her dad had surgery.  I left the 3 older boys with my parents and we flew out of Jackson.  When we got to Portland there was a huge thunderstorm so we circled the airport for about 30 minutes, we were getting low on gas so we had to fly to Reddmond, OR., to refuel.  We had reservations to eat dinner with the sales reps. and Jaxon and Brooke.  We were about 2 hours late!  We didn't get to our hotel room until 11:30 pm our time.  The baby was an angel.  He had been sitting all day, no nap and he didn't fuss once.  In fact he didn't make a peep in four days of dinner appts., tours, running around constantly.  The sales reps. could not get over what a good baby he was.  On Saturday we rented a car and went downtown to see the area.  There was a rose festival going on with a parade and lots of crazy things to see.  The craziest thing was to see some of the people from Portland!  We then drove out to see some waterfalls and the Bonneville fish hatchery, they had a sturgeon there that was 10 feet long.  We had a great time but it is always good to come home.

Gorgeous. So what inspired you to do the trek out to Multnomah Falls? I've always thought Multnomah Falls are stunning. Something about that bridge across there that's so pretty.
Glad you got a fun little getaway.

My blog is a lot of trial and error on my part, but I'll email you my html layout if you'd like and you can try it out.
