We made it to Portland! And we are staying in a very swanky hotel. Their motif here is Tiffany blue, it would seem. Lots of Tiffany blue 🙂
This is a side of Portland that we really don’t get to see when we come here for the holidays or exclusively to visit with our siblings; it’s downtown. It’s tourist-y. It’s fun to do it like this. So, honestly, three cheers for Nina and Amir and Liz for setting this trip up together. I’m looking forward to the rest of the weekend.
We got to hang with the sibs for dinner! That was really nice. We went to a strip club with Amir! That was super fun – he gave me the down low on how he likes to do it. Then Liz and I just kinda hung out and watched the place fill up. We went pretty early, I guess.
Coco is with us. She’s mauling a whimzee right now. She was SUCH a good pup on the plane, such a good pup while we were out having dinner…she’s just the perfect dog to travel with. She never makes noise, and when she’s alone, she just lays down and sleeps until you return.
In other news…our country is fucking falling apart. And that’s really, really frustrating. Depressing, even. And with the economy strong as it is right now (which isn’t going to last long-term), I *don’t* think there’s going to be a blue wave coming in the November mid-terms. I’m not even sure there’s going to be one in 2020.
Sigh…downer to end on, but Liz was just listening to news clips…and that’s what my gut is telling me.
Night.
