Click here from photos from some of the many holiday light displays we have visited this week around Portland -- The Oregon Zoo's Zoo Lights, Pioneer Square Christmas Tree, Alpenrose Dairy's Storybook Lane, Peacock Lane in SE Portland, and the Christmas Ships parade along the Willamette River. We timed a trip to the Portland Saturday Market with the Santa paddle board parade, though credit for that photo goes to The Oregonian.
Happy holidays to all!
We started blogging in 2007 to document a year-long family sailing adventure. Upon returning to our home base in Portland, Oregon, in 2008, our adventures and blogging continued. Sri Lanka and Malta took center stage in 2018-2020. We were bicoastal (OR/PA) in 2020-2022, then back together in the Pacific NW until 2025, when MN was added to our location list.

Underwater Colombo
Click here for photos from Pat's recent dives with Island Scuba. He has been diving just offshore from Colombo, where there are a dozen or so wrecks to explore. If you have an Instagram account, you can click here for video of an specially friendly pufferfish.
There are a few above-the-ground shots in the album too - featuring some of the festive holiday decorating we've been seeing around Colombo and some great sky views.
Meanwhile back in Portland... Drew was recently featured in a promotion for a local surf shop, Cosube.
