July 14, 2012 – Portland/Fairview RV Park, Fairview, Or

We spent another enjoyable day with Ross and Kelli on Saturday. We got a little later start because of me checking all of the tire pressures. But once we got there, we headed into the Portland Saturday Market. This is an area down on the river front that has hundreds of booths set up selling handcrafted items, imported items, food, and entertainment. We really like to go there and see all of the crafts and other items. This is one of our favorite things to do in Portland. After getting some lunch at some of the food booths, we came back and I helped Ross with a couple of projects around the house (another one of my favorite things). We all then took the three dogs for a walk through some of their diverse neighborhood.

Some of the entertainment.

Kelli had planned a fun evening by having a few of their friends over for supper and an evening of visiting. There were two couples, one had one little girl and the other had two little girls. Of course, they were part of the entertainment with their cute antics. After a delicious meal of grilled steaks, pasta salad and lots of veggies, we settled down to more visiting. Everyone had questions about our travels. Ross and Kelli hadn’t yet had a chance to see our photos, so they encouraged us to show them to everyone. We then spent an hour or so boring them with a slide show of the hundreds of pictures from our trip which we have not had a chance to clean up or sort.
