A great spring break!

This past Monday&Tuesday, we drove to Portland for a night. A visit to the "Nob Hill" area of Portland for shopping and lunch, then to Powell's Books (of course) Then we checked into the Kennedy School, a McMenamin's Hotel that was built from an old elementary school. We met up with brother Dan and his friend Zoe for dinner at the hotel restaurant, and had a woonderful time getting to know her.
Next morning, we shopped some more, tried a little ice skating at the Lloyd Center Mall, then had a great time at the Portland Children's Museum. Lots of hands on stuff for the kids to enjoy. There wasa large exhibit celebrating "Sesame Street" that we all enjoyed-the grown ups with nostalgia, the kids with fun.

Pinewood Derby

Here are a few photos from this years Pinewood Derby. I didn't make one for myself, but I will next year. Our Cub Scout had a lot of fun designing, sanding, painting, and detailing this, with a lottle help from mom on the finer paintwork.
