It's all good in the Hood...

I am just about to head out and watch the Euro 2008 Finals with some friends and am LOVING being back in the Hood! I had a great time up at my sister's house. The kids are awesome, some family came up for my nephew's baptism, I went and visited a girlfriend up in Bellevue, enjoyed the sun, the cool mornings, running, NW wine, fruits and vegetables with flavor... Yeah! After a few days in WA I headed down to PDX, met up with some friends for dinner,









saw my nanny kids, BBQ, went to an outdoor concert at Edgefield,










and then headed out to HR for the weekend.













It has been awesome! 6th Street for dinner and to see Chris,









the river for some sun, the water is ICE cold, went to Dog River for coffee, ran 13 miles on an old favorite trail, walked around town taking pictures of everything, I was basically being that tourist that I make fun of. Linds and I went to the Naked Winery tasting room. Look it up, it's got some very provocative names and descriptions of their wine, as you can imagine. We sat outside both days and I never want to leave... Someday I'll be back here, I love OR, but HR is definitely where I'd like to call home again someday, it just doesn't get better than this!
