Father-Son Weekend

On the weekend of March 26th, my dad came by to see me. It was nice to see him before I headed out. We only had a couple brief days, but we made the most of it. He arrived Friday for lunch, and we went and toured the Eastbank Esplanade in Portland. A fun walk with lots of historical notes along the way.



That night, we met up with the Mills for a nice dinner at The Chart House. Great food and a good view of the Willamette Valley.

On a very wet Saturday, we headed down to the Evergreen Aviation Museum. They are the keepers of Howard Hughes' Spruce Goose, which is receiving much renewed attention due to the recent movie "The Aviator". I wasn't expecting too much beyond the Spruce Goose when I went there, but they actually have a very fine collection of planes. I do recommend it if you happen to be in the area...
