Vacation Part 1

So we're on an amazing vacation in Portland, Oregon. Some friends of my wife's invited us to come and use their house while they are on vacation. Too good of an offer to resist. I'd never been to the West Coast before.

Thursday, we flew to Portland after several delays at O'hare Airport, arriving about 1:00 am Central Time. We got to spend Friday with Derrith and Evan Lambka, a very cool couple who've relocated to Portland area from Naperville, IL. They have been the greatest hosts imaginable.

The Pacific Northwest is beautiful! Everything is incredibly green, probably due to the amount of rain they get most of the year, but right now is perfect. Highs in the low 80s...lows at night around 70...tons of sunshine... We couldn't ask for better weather.

Well, what do I get excited about doing on vacation? Going to churches, of course. My plan was to drag my family to at least 3 different churches and I succeeded to a point, but I'll save the saga of the search for Donald Miller until tomorrow.

Speaking of Donald Miller, since I'm in Portland I'm reading Blue Like Jazz. VERY COOL BOOK!!
