Day 6 in Portland

Our final day in Oregon was a quiet one, with some late sleeping, late breakfast, shopping and time with friends. We spent several hours taking advantage of Oregon's tax-free shopping at the Woodburn outlet mall. W and I made a few nice bargain purchases, and walked out of a Banana Republic because the music was SO loud and the manager refused to turn it down. Oh well...their loss....another store's gain.

In the late afternoon, we headed down to Salem, Oregon to have dinner with Jason and Heather, their two boys and their two dachshunds. It was a great night of pizza, wine, conversation, and playing with kids and dogs. It's too bad that two couples who share so much in common and have such a great time together, live on opposite ends of the country. I'm sure we will get together again sometime soon!

Our journey comes to an end with packing and dropping W off at the airport. I'll be in Seattle for several days with meetings.
