12-29-09

Today was another vacation day. I was torn between staying in bed to read all day and working on my to do list before the year is over.

Turns out I did neither. Bruce was restless and suggested a trip to Portland. Anastasia wanted to spend her Christmas cash at Powell's books. We thought we'd pair that with a trip to OMSI, but crowds pushed us to seeing Sherlock Holmes in the theater instead. I finally got to eat at Chipolte too, yum!

We weren't very far into our outing when the snow started falling. I was ready to bolt for home, but Bruce wanted to wait until after rush hour. Gorgeous scenery, but too many white knuckles with slushy roads and closed on-ramps for me.
