Three. Day. Weekend.
Utter those three little words and it makes people crazy. Crazy. Huge, elaborate plans suddenly start taking shape as if adding that extra day allows you to do a myriad of things you can't possibly fit into two days. And let me tell you, people get out of town as fast as they can. To mountain, to the coast, to the gorge, it doesn't matter. It's a three day weekend. The world is yours.
The weather was fantastic over Memorial Day weekend in Portland for the first time in like a bazillion years. Warm, sunny, not a cloud to be seen all weekend. Not even a threat of rain which for Portland is pretty much unheard of. Between REI and photo shoots, B and I practically had a one day weekend but still managed to fit in plenty of fun in the sun.
Take a look:
Julia and I took Kaya to the river for some play time on Sunday.
Julia and me enjoying gelato after burgers and beer at the Kennedy School. Gelato Tour '09 here we come!
B stops for a rest in the middle of our 30 mile circumnavigation of Hagg Lake on Monday.
B also had a fantastic ride and BBQ with some buddies on Saturday and we both headed over to Ryan and Dacia's for some grill time Monday night.
Bike ride? Check. BBQ? Check. Hike with the dog? Check. Burgers and beer? Check. Another bike ride? Check. Another BBQ? Check. Hmmm, felt like a completely normal weekend to us--maybe we finally have this time off thing nailed down.
