The First Visit

These are from when we first came out to the Portland area searching for a place to live and checking out the scenery. We cut it close looking for a new home. We had 3 days out of the 4 we were there to find a place, and we settled on Whipple Creek on Day 3 at 3pm. Yes Whipple Creek, don't ask me what a Whipple is. The top picture was taken from our little balcony at unit S-81. It has plenty of room for Max to run around, and they are very 'dog friendly'. Our relocation agent Kris gave us a list of things to do, but since we only had 29 hours before we were to leave 'item number 8- Sunset at Seaside, OR' was what we decided to try. The sunset picture was actually taken by me. Hard to believe you say? I guess being married to such a talented photographer is rubbing off. (Check out some of her pics on her blog. melindaholland.blogspot.com- website to follow) If you are wondering what melinda is pointing at in the sky it's nothing. Just Superman!!! (He's really way up there, kind of hard to see.) All we had heard regarding Portland was Rain, Rain, Rain. So when we came to visit what did we get? Sun, Sun, Sun. You can see some clouds on the coast, but inland towards Portland was beautiful the whole time we were there. It has rained since we've moved here, but at least it's not Texas. Enjoy with a cup of monkey joe!
