Woke up early on Fri and started getting ready for the trip up to Mt. Hood.  Luna met us down on the SE side of town and we walked around, played the pump organ, and had Lebanese food before heading east.  We all agreed that we know nothing about Lebanon.  Did you know it snows there?  The drive over to Mt. Hood was beautiful and we stopped a huge yard sale on the way.  I scored a worn out leather jacket for a buck!  Headed up to Cooper Spur and found where we were bunking for the weekend.  Really great little spot on the mountain.  Soon enough it was time to get dressed for the Square Dance.  Too much fun watching everyone and then B and I gave it a go.  Complete chaos!  Soon enough we hit the hay and prepared for the day ahead!

Morning party got started early with Feats of Strength(3-legged race,egg toss,etc..) on the lawn around ten.  Chaos again!!

We had some down time for walking and relaxing before the wedding and it was the perfect day out. Wedding was beautiful and the reception was a total Jill and Garett show!! Right down to the streaking! Everyone had a grand ol’time.

Next morning we headed up to breakfast to say our goodbyes and head back to P-town.   Jill and Garett are on there way to CANADA and then to Martha’s Vineyard and back.  They truly are beautiful together.  It is so important to be able to just have fun with the one you love.

We eased our way back into Portland and headed to Powell’s downtown.  It is so fun to get lost in this bookstore, and so easy.  We walked around downtown and headed over to the Ace Hotel lobby to get coffee and meet up with Nicole.  This place is just to cool–could have stayed there all day.  The bathroom alone….very hip.   We watched a foreign film..El Metodo.. at the Living Room Theatre.  It was an interesting film, not great, at an upscale Alamo that is overpriced and not as comfy.  We then headed into the heart of downtown and found an India Festival in the square…..mmm good food…mmm mango lassi!   After that it was time to head back to the house and relax….tomorrow will be spent getting ready for the last leg of our journey.
