2009 Trip to Portland

This trip was very special, I am seeing my daughter's
special guy and her 1st home that she bought.
Jared and Alison

First night, we went to a wonderful live
jazz club. We had dinner and enjoyed
the Mel Brown Trio.

Poor photos, but great music!
Without music, life would B Flat!


Just us being silly.

Later that evening, we played scrabble and
they blew me away! Jared won!

Alison, her friend Jackie and I did
some Portland shopping.

Here are a few of the street sites.

Sadie joined us and introduced me
to the wonderful world of
Sushi Go Round!


The sushi plates come around on
a conveyer belt.
