We were in Oregon. Our trip turned out way better than either of us had expected! We saw Mt. St. Helen's from the plane flying in. You could see steam coming from the top of it as it is still perkilating and an active volcano! We had a car service at the airport to pick us up in a decked out Lincoln Navigator, they took us to our beautiful hotel at the 5th Avenue Suites in downtown Portland. Then to the Portland City Grill, which is in a high rise building with The most amazing views! The perimiter of the restaurant is all glass windows and you can see mt. St. Helen's and I think it was Mt. Hood or Mt. Reinier and the whole city, it was breath taking! We ate an amazing lunch for free and then drove around the Nike campus and headed to the Nike employee store where they hooked us up with amazing gifts and we loaded up on a bunch of stuff!

After all that we skipped our dinner reservations and headed back to the hotel to unwind and then went out on the city to explore. We got a few drinks and some appetizers then went back to get some rest.

Thursday, we took the car service back to campus and had the grand tour, it was absolutely beautiful! I think we might have to move to Oregon and work there forever! Ian and I were blown away and left in envy of all who worked there on a daily basis. We played some raquet ball and basketball in the Bo Jackson facility and then headed to a restuarant on campus for lunch. After lunch we headed back to the city and walked around checking out some of the shops. We were picked up @ 5 pm for a dinner resercation at Henry's 12th Street Tavern, again amazing food, and a great time. After dinner, we went to a Beaver's Game (Baseball), all expense paid...Then back to Henry's for drinks and Ian and I hit a few more bars by the hotel before calling it a night.

Friday morning we relaxed and laid in bed wishing we didn't have to leave. It was nice to be spoiled for a few days. We went out on the city, grabbed some coffee and walked back to the fountain to take some pics. Then we hit the Niketown shop and did a little shopping. Then it was back to the hotel to finish packing and the car service swept us away to the airport.

Now we're home. Depressed that vacation is just about over, and I am leaving early Monday morning to go to the Cape for work and won't see Ian for 4 days! This sucks! Why can't vacations last forever?

I know I've been tagged by a few of you, but I really don't have time to do it tonight. I'll try to do it tomorrow, if not then definately Monday, since I'll be in a lonly hotel room with nothing but my blog:( Until then...
