Portland Heat Wave


We spent a long weekend in Portland to help Jake and Emily move from Corvallis and Bellingham respectively to Portland, where Jake is now working at Applied Materials and Emily with Girls Inc.  Their moves were timed with the most extreme heat Portland has ever seen. Daily temperatures were over 110, making the Willamette River - and Drew's air-conditioned house - welcome retreats once the boxes were unloaded.  Click here for photos. At one point, Emily literally fried an egg on the sidewalk. Despite the heat, it was great to be together for a few days. 

While hanging out at the Willamette Sailing Club, the boys got to try a SlingShot foil board, catch-up with friends, and help Fig practice her swimming.
Ahead of our departure for the West Coast, Jake and I got to spend a day at the University of Pennsylvania's Morris Arboretum and a nearby Tee's golf/batting center. Click here for those photos.
