Billy and I just spent 2 nights away from the boys at a hotel in Portland. We golfed 18 holes at Waverley Golf Club and Columbia Edgewater Golf Course. Both beautiful courses and the weather was great! We ate a lot of food at the Olive Garden, Busch Gardens, Cheesecake Factory and The Melting Pot. It was wonderful, but I might be told at my next appointment to stop gaining weight now! We just had a great time being together without kiddos. Funny enough, we were watching about 10 minutes of the Today show yesterday morning and they were doing a special on great affordable places to stay and the first one they talked about was the Nines in Portland Oregon, where we were currently staying.
