Today was the first Sunday Parkway in Portland and this Sunday's event was in NE Portland. Perfect! About 5 miles of neighorhood streets were closed to traffic and open to bikes, walkers, joggers, and rollerbladers. This path connected 5 different parks in Northeast Portland which hosted games and food vendors.
So we dusted off our one bike, borrowed another (as well as a trailer for Christian) and set on our way. When we left our house it was raining and freezing (ok not freezing, but certainly not the 70 degrees I was eagerly anticipating), so we didn't get off to a fantastic start. However, it warmed up, we got some Voodoo doughnuts in us and a hot dog for Dae, and all was well again :) Meanwhile, Christian was subjected to a new helmet which covered I'm guessing about 90% of his vision. We felt so sorry for him. Every time we looked back, he was just laying there, playing with his train, more or less blind. I think he finally realized there wasn't much else to do and promptly fell asleep for the remaining 45 minutes.
Our meals have gotten a bit more complicated. Christian drops so much food we have started to place a large tarp of newspapers below him every dinner. That Sunday paper (after I have taken out the coupons, of course) sure does come in handy!
Last weekend my mom was in town so she took lots of photos. My mom, Ev and I spent the night Saturday at the Avalon hotel after getting facials and pedicures and it was a real treat! (Lounging, reading magazines, drinking champagne and watching TV never gets old.) We also made a Burgerville stop on Friday after their visit to my dental office.
