...dropped the car with the kids at the curb (they were great!),...went up to the room and settled in for the evening on a king feather bed facing a flat screen HD TV and 3, count em!, THREE REMOTES!!!! ....Here's SAMMY girl laying on her mink coat blanket she inherited from my mother. The hotel came with a "pet menu" and a "dog bed" and bowls. No more pics tonight. [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smirk.gif[/img]

Re: Portland Oregon rocks! ...

You are right, it's a really cool city. Full of energy and fun and niceness. I like to say that people here only eat breakfast at home so they work two jobs so they can enjoy great restaurants. It seems like half the people are on bicycles too. It's a young town. Home prices here have gone up 20,000 this year against the trend.
