on thursday rob and i had the opportunity to see "flight of the conchords" up in portland. first, we picked up cousin tim from salem to watch the kids and pets. then we headed up to portland and visited briefly with our friends the becks. at 7:15 we made a mad dash to downtown portland to the albert schnitzer concert hall. there is really not a bad seat in the house there and we enjoyed a really humorous show. rob did awesome considering there were so many people. indeed. we lucked out w/ aisle seats which make him feel less anxious. and believe me, the crowd at the show just couldn't sit still. every minute somebody had to get up to what? go the bathroom? smoke? it was a sit down show and quite a few people had a hard time w/ that concept. regardless, we had fun. we then headed back to the becks where we stayed up too late chatting. we then spent most of friday with them, eating lunch at the park and then visiting the model home of their future home and walking around the neighborhood to possible lot options. and connor (their two year old) only threw a major fit once. :)
rob and i then headed to the movie theater and saw "wolverine". we very much enjoyed it. me for hugh and rob just in general. :)
after that we headed to our friends the davisons where they'd prepared a very lovely dinner of chicken (as in a WHOLE bird), kale w/ green beans, salad and mashed yams w/ potatoes. it was delicious!! we then went out for dessert and drinks. then we splet in their cozy, delightful guest room. the next morning they made us a fabulous breakfast w/ fresh eggs from their chickens (in which they discovered days old kittens in the coop while we were there), corn bread muffins, toast (mark is english..gotta have the toast) and the BEST coffee.
we then had a very easy drive back considering it was a sunny saturday and the traffic could've been a lot worse. in fact, the average speed was 70mph in the fast lane much to my dismay and if i hadn't been so tired i might have been more irritated. :)
all in all a fantastic reprieve from the kids and pets. this next weekend when i head to san francisco for three days for a sisters weekend!
