Portland skyline with the Willamette River in view. (That's Will-lamb-et for all you south-westerners.)The water fountains run continuously in Portland. Seeing that made me feel like I'd lived in the book Dune my first 46 years, seemed almost vulgar to me. I guess rivers are pretty decadent too - sending all that perfectly good fresh water to the ocean, unused.
Danae enjoyed doing a "weather report" at OMSI, The Oregon Museum of Science and Industry. There was also a pretty cool Cold War era sub docked there in the river as a floating museum.
Mark seems unconcerned about the high voltage as Danae, oblivious to the danger, happily drives the sub.
This is the Rose Garden sports arena. We are standing at the cooling-off area out front. Water jets up out of the ground here and you can run around barefooted if you feel so inclined. It kinda freaked Danae out. But, I loved it!
This is our really cool suite where we had an awesome view of the Lipizzaner Stallions. Thanks to Mark's company and free tix.

OMSI ROCKS!!! I can't wait to go back! I'll probably go again next year when Logan is a bit older and Alexis could actually appreciate it a bit more.
Ohhh, It sounds like a lot of fun! The next time we visit, we will have to stop for this place.
It sounds like you had a blast at OMSI!!! When I went I had a blast to..
