Vacation is wrapping up… David heads back East early tomorrow (Wednesday), while Adrienne gets on a plane down to San Jose for work; she’ll fly back home Friday. We closed out the vacation how we started – with a stop at Burgerville. We’ve stayed at the house of one of Adrienne’s college friends, who is currently teaching in Malaysia, these last few days in Portland. And wouldn’t you know it, there’s a Burgerville down the road and we needed dessert to go with Jon Stewart.
Today was actually our only full day in Portland, but we managed to explore two extinct volcanic cinder cones, both within the city limits. Also did some street-food exploring downtown, and some local music exploring at a park near where we’re staying. Also had some good Thai food the previous night, and David got Adrienne to go on a run with him, though she darn-near broke her ankle in doing so (watch out for pears on the sidewalk, is the lesson learned). We also celebrated Adrienne’s Mom’s birthday with family and lunch at a cool elementary school-turned-restaurant/hotel/movie theater. A good vacation, but it’s always nice to get and be home.
