In June we had a barbecue at our house and we called it the Naked Barbecue because it coincided with the World's Largest Naked Bike Ride. It was a great mix of people, from our realtor to two "coworkers" from our Tree Bud project to a scattering of friends and family. The house was still in some disarray and the backyard still a nuclear wasteland, but we went ahead anyway and had a great time.
Also in summer Leslie had a girlfriends outing, this time a weekday party boat cruise on the Columbia River. Susan's husband was captain and all the gals had to do was eat, drink and chat. It was perfect.
We attended a Portland Thunder football game. It was the first time inside the Rose Garden for Leslie and the first Thunder game for both of us. We took the light rail there and back (except for the 1 mile walk through a sketchy part of town because we didn't want to wait for the connecting bus) and so considered it a perfect Portland experience.
And we attended a street dance in West Linn, more for L's work than anything else but it was fun to go exploring in the Metro area -- can't stay limited to Portland all the time!
