Vacation

So it's that time of the month again . . . VACATION!  Yeah, my year round schedule seems to have me going no more than 5 weeks without some sort of break.  Don't hate me.  With the intensity of the families with whom I work and the nature of my job, it often feels like I need all of the vacations I can get.  

So I've got two weeks.  So far it looks like we'll be having two dinners over at friends' houses.  I'll be constructing a chicken coop ( this is the one I'm hoping to build) and hopefully buying
 six grown chickens to put in it.  Omelets here we come.  Then next week
end, Amelia will be going to my parents' house in Silverton for some Gramma and Grampy time while A and I get some alone time at the Governor Hotel in downtown Portland.  I'm hoping to hit a few food spots with A while we're out that I've been meaning
 to check out for a while:  Evoe, happy hour at 
Ten 01, and definitely enjoy some fine drinking chocolate at Cacao.  We'll see what our budget allows.  I also hope to have the rest of our house painted by the end of the two weeks as the Portland Development Commission is painting our whole house for free since we have lead paint.  As soon as we get some sun it should be all done.  That should be enough to keep me happy this break.

I'm hoping to make things a bit more visual on this blog, but with little tech knowledge, I can't seem to get pictures to format right on this blog.  I'll keep trying.

Here's something to make you laugh:
