All Together at Otter Rocks

Drew and Grace hosted a bachelor/bachelorette camping weekend for friends on the Oregon Coast, and we got to join them for a lovely afternoon near Otter Rocks. Jake flew in for the occasion, so we were all together briefly... something not likely to happen again until their wedding in September!

Rose + Starlight Parade

Portland combined its annual Rose and Starlight Parades into a single event this year. Click here for photos. It was a beautiful night to enjoy a great show.

Chasing Dragons

It's Rose Festival Weekend, which means dragon boat racing. We spent Saturday on the waterfront cheering for Emily's team, the Willamette Wave Riders. The weather was a bit unsettled, but rain or shine, it was fun to watch the races. Click here for photos.
