4/3/2010 Portland OR

In a spontaneous decision that even surprised me, I decided that since I was already on the west coast (I was in San Diego for a conference), I should just scoot up to Oregon and spend Easter there. I was only there for 43 hours, but it was a blast! I arrived on Friday late afternoon. We went to the grocery store and cooked dinner at Dain and Sara's house. Karen gave us her grilled asparagus recipe over the phone. It was delicious.

Saturday, we went into the city on the MAX rail (after a U-turn trip back to the house). We went to the mall and waited in line to see the iPad . . . 'cuz you gotta go the first day, right?!

Look! They even have a cart of free treats for those of us waiting in line for our turn.

At last we got our hands on the iPad. Of course, the photo of me is perfectly framed 'cuz you-know-who took it. I get all the good breaks. ;-)

We had a blast and we were glad we got to see it and touch it and feel it, but neither of us bought one that day nor did we really have the desire. Between our MacBook laptops and our iPhones, we're set. . . . for now.

Here you go Dr. Mari! Moonstruck is a chocolate shop in town (they have outlets at the airport, too). Those are little chocolate cows in the photo so of course the theme is "moooooonstruck".
