This Week...
Started the week in Portland Oregon, all I can is WOW!!! what beauty. Flying into Portland we had a clear view of Mt. Hood. It was almost like I could reach out the window and touch it (well except I was in an airplane). The Flight Attendant mentioned that she had never had a such clear view flying into Portland, it usually either cloudy or there is a forest fire that interrupts the view. While we flew to Portland our meeting was in Vancouver Washington - another beautiful place. If you are ever in Vancouver make sure you stay at the Heathman Lodge www.Heathmanlodge.com, beautiful hotel, clean and the restaurant is fabulous.
Ended the Week in Boston and Warwick RI, also a very nice area of the country. I probably would have liked it more in the spring or summer right now its COLD!!!. I did experience my first New England Clam Bake. All I can is "oh my goodness" the amount of food served was unbelievable. We had Shrimp, Clams, Steak, Lobster, Corn, Cole Slaw, Red Skin Potatos and Brown Bread. I finished about half of my lobster and maybe a quarter of my steak and I was done. Special shout outs and Thanks to Mark for teaching me how to each that beast of a lobster, without you I would still be sitting there pondering how to approach that thing.
