Oregon Trip - Day 5: Portland

On Thursday we packed up and said farewell to our camping haven at Nehalem Bay State Park and headed for Portland...but not before stopping for a delicious brunch at Camp 18 in Elsie, Oregon. Sorry - didn't get any fun photos of all the chainsaw vs. wood artistic renditions of bears & Bigfoot this year. Even without visuals, a meal at Camp 18 is worth mentioning. It was delicious -- again!

We arrived in Portland and spent much of late Thursday afternoon and evening with Jen & Tony at their apartment downtown. Chef extraordinaire - Tony didn't disappoint, making delicious homemade pizzas for us to enjoy.

This video captures Greta's first real belly laugh, which was instigated by Auntie Nenny! She had her giggling like crazy, as you can see and hear in this clip:

(Mom/Grammy - I hope you could view this video, as I know you've been wanting to see it!)

Gary spent part of Thursday and most of Friday following & observing management at KGW who hold similar job titles to his recent new position as managing editor at KTVB. He walked from nearby KGW (the sister TV station to KTVB) to join us for the wonderful pizza dinner, and then we all ventured back to our hotel, where we got the kids ready for bed, hung out with Tony & Jen, and enjoyed watching some "Shark Week" on cable. We always seem to hit "Shark Week" at some point during our trips to the Oregon Coast. ☺
