SUNSHINE!

I really could hardly believe it. That bright, warm, shiny, sunny, yellow thing in the sky all weekend. Sunshine? Could it be?

Naturally, B and I spent the weekend outside soaking up as much Vitamin D as possible. We spent Saturday on the Portland waterfront taking in the sites of the Rose Festival, this crazy two-week long "festival" that celebrates...roses? It's just another annual Portland event that we usually don't pay any attention to, but B was shooting engagement shots on the riverfront so we went down early to take in the sights-- dragon boat races, the carnival midway and most importantly, the people watching. Oh, the people watching. It was awesome with a capital AWE.

Sunday was even sunnier (is that a word?) so I hightailed it down to Corvallis to hang with Craig and Bridget. We headed for the disc golf course and were doing pretty good until we got held up at hole 15 by some fools who threw a frisbee in a tree. So Craig says, "Screw this, let's go drink beers." Hard to argue with that. We finished the day with beers on the sidewalk and then dinner in downtown Corvallis. Cheers to sunshine!
