Weekend with my parents




So happy my parents came to visit last weekend! The weekend always goes way too fast though!

Friday night we took them to Por Que No - one of our favorite little funky (and always jam-packed with people, might I add) Mexican restaurants on Hawthorne for some yummy tacos, chips, and guacamole. Of course later that night we were all exhausted from the week, which resulted in Mom, Dad, and Kelly all falling asleep on the couch within minutes of one another. :) Poor Jeff. What a lame bunch we are.

Saturday was the highlight of our weekend. We got up early (8:00) and headed up to Mt. Hood's Timberline Lodge for some breakfast. The lodge there is old, big, and beautiful. Huge fireplaces are on every floor. If you've seen "The Shining", it was filmed in this lodge. We sat at a table right by the window, and it was snowing lightly. The breakfast buffet was amazing, and we all stuffed our faces. Fresh squeezed orange juice, an omelette bar, a belgian waffle bar, biscuits and gravy (my fav), fresh fruit, bacon, sausage...I am already getting hungry again! After breakfast we carried our stuffed selves all around the lodge, just admiring the details of the old building. A few games of shuffleboard and ping pong may have been involved...

Saturday afternoon we all went over to our gym downtown (Hilton Athletic Club), for some exercising, swimming in the indoor pool, and hottubbing. How relaxing. That evening we enjoyed some chicken parmesan at home, and watched "Hurt Locker" (goood movie!).

All in all, a great weekend, and didn't want them to go home of course!
