We did the shopping thing Saturday. First we stopped at one of the many many many coffee shops for which Portland is famous. We went to the Columbia outlet and picked up some things to keep us warm as we head down the way. Then it was off to some "Little Box" shops to support local small businesses. Our final stop was at REI where Lynda was able to find a replacement shell. Her old one was wearing thin. We also picked up a sun shower, some hand warmers, a cap and gloves for me.
For dinner Seth and Lisa took us out to a local brew pub, also a Portland specialty, where we sampled some brews, had a fabulous cheese burger and finally shared a gingerbread dessert. It was great.
Plans for Sunday include a Chinese garden and movie, I think. We have wanted to see "The Theory of Everything" which has not been showing in Little River, so we will take advantage the larger offering here.
All in all, a good day even if a bit cold. Home doesn't seem to be doing much better.
