08-14-09


My workday ended today at 2pm in Vancouver. Bruce met me there and we headed to Portland for an extended date night.

First we hit Ugly Mug Coffeehouse. I requested that we get coffee in a real cup, but in an ugly mug was an adventure… Then we headed to Lake Oswego for an art walk. We had the brochure with locations, photos, and descriptions on the iTouch. It was a perfect way to walk around the neighborhood.

This cage of glass "marbles" was one of my favorites, as was the bountiful flower garden behind it. After criss-crossing several blocks, we stopped at Chevy’s for dinner. Dessert was at a fancy establishment with expensive, decadent, truly amazing cakes and tortes, and another shot at coffee in a real cup.

We topped off the evening with Theater Sports improv at a theater bar in Pearl district. And I’m ready to fall into bed!
