Portland Trip

Karen and I visited our children in Portland, Oregon, during the past five days. We chatted, dined out, went sightseeing in Portland area, and watched a few DVDs at night. In Portland, I enjoyed visiting the Portland Art Museum, the Portland Zoo, riding the MAX electric train, browsing at Powell's bookstore, and seeing the thousands of very beautiful shrubs, flowers, and trees in their Spring blooming phase. The long winter and spring rainy season has made the whole northwest along Interstate 5 a deep green color everywhere.
