Portland, Take 2

Yes, it' s summer again. And that means that I'm working like crazy. I've been very busy this summer spending as much time at arby's as I can. It's been a bit of a nightmare, but I still don't have enough money saved up. As the end of summer approaches, we go on our Portland vacation to visit my brother and sister-in-law. It's been a lot of fun, really.

The first day here we went to the portland zoo to see the rose garden. None of us had ever been there so we parked a mile from the garden. We saw a map and decided it didn't look too far, so we started hiking. It turned into a death march through the sun by the end of the hike, and we decided to turn back about half way there. It was a lot of fun though. I enjoyed.

The second day we went to the coast and played on the beach and such. It was fun. The water was freezing. I forgot to take my camera again, of course, but I took some pictures with my phone. After the beach, we had pizza at a seeside pizza shop. It was really good, and pretty expensive. Then we went to the Tillamook factory and watched them make cheese and bought some ice cream. It was really good. I got a lot of reading in my book. I'm about a hundred and fifty pages into it now.

Today is our third day and we went to a huge used bookstore. We go there every year. Last year i bought the Tolkein book Children of Tourin. I didn't really get anything this time, but I had fun looking around and just looking. it was amazing how many books they had. We went into their rare book room and saw a book that costs $16,500. After that, we just came home and watched movies and such. It was a good day. Hopefully the next days won't be so hot. Anyways, I'm tired and I'm getting some sleep.
